Story Slam is where people tell amazing true stories, live on stage. Come and share your own story, or simply come along and enjoy everyone else's. Wanna tell a story at the event? No need to get in touch, simply arrive on the day and follow instructions to submit your name. ********* THEME ********* This month our theme is mother. Stories of motherhood, womanhood and childhood. Step mothers, adoptive mothers, and mothers in law. Being a mother, having a mother and all the life in between. The day you learnt you were going to be a mum, or the moment you realized your mum was once a child like you. Stories of birth, pregnancy and sex. The joy, the fear and the strangeness of being a parent. And the joy and uncertainty of having one. Stories of nesting, flying the coop, and coming back home. The person who cared for you when you were small, or the person who was absent. The mother, the maiden, the crone. Family holidays, breastfeeding in public, or being a mother figure to someone else. Bringing something into existsence, creating something cool or weird or new. The bird and the bees talk, your first day of school, and Mother's day. Shall I be mother..? Have you got a story about mother?
