event notice
 Thursday January 03, 2008 18:54 by The Oh-Aissieux - Narrative Arts Club narrativearts at gmail dot com 086 060 3818
Forget what storytelling was, and find out what it might be!
An evening of innovative storytelling in the Library Bar Extension, Central Hotel, Exchequer Street, Dublin 2.
Doors 7.30pm. Show starts 8pm.
Admission €5, concessions €2. (If even €2 is beyond your resources, talk to us.)
For further information and bookings, text 086 - 060 3818. Stories of djinns, witches and wily women. Strange lands and seas. Guns lost, found and fired. Drugs you never heard of, used and abused. The woman who got rubbed out. And more. This is storytelling, but not as we know it. This is eye-contact theatre for the noughties.
Following a series of successful evenings of innovative storytelling over the last year and more, the club's first event of 2008 will take a new format: storytelling à la carte. Here, listeners will be invited to select the stories you want to hear from a menu of intriguing starters, meaty main courses and juicy desserts, from the repertoire of the club's MC, the incorrigible Oh-Aissieux. As before, guests will be encouraged to mingle in the interval and to share stories with each other on an informal basis.
As the club's events are often sold out, patrons are advised to book in advance, and to turn up in good time to get a good seat, order drinks from the bar and read the menu at your leisure.

Saturday 12 January.
Easily overlooked, because it's in paler, grey-green fonts.
Bookings have been streaming in. If you want to see the show, you are advised to book now.

By the way, in case the description does not make it clear, I should advise that this show is not suitable for small children. If my stories were movies, very few of them would be given a "G" or "PG" rating by the Irish Film Censor's Office, as they would not comply with the criteria, as described here:
http://www.ifco.ie/IFCO/ifcoweb.nsf/web/classcatintro?o...aphic
e.g. "The film should not be concerned with serious or moral issues which might confuse or disturb a young child."
Almost all of them would breach this criterion, and some of them might possibly breach all of the other criteria for G or PG ratings.
Best,
Coilín.
Once again, the Library Bar Extension was sold out for an evening of live storytelling entertainment at the Narrative Arts Club. A handful of people decided to come back after the interval, when a few seats came available, but there were still people sitting on the floor for the second half. Suggestions for a venue that has just as much inherited atmosphere but about twice as much space would be very welcome!
Here is a report from an enthusiastic member of the audience:
Feeding the Demons- A Night of Storytelling with the O-Aissieux
http://www.indymedia.ie/article/85771
These were the stories I actually told, on prompting by the audience:
First part:
Starters:
Meet the Molbos
The shaman and the Bolsheviks
Main Course:
Trolls-in-law
Spicy side dishes:
Shrimp husband
Fish soup
Dessert:
The bumblebee
Second part:
Starters:
Mushroom soup
Sux races
Main course:
Mr Silver and Miss Crozier
Dessert:
Sindbad's first and second voyages
(The way I told this merged the two voyages into one. I'd like to disentangle them and continue with the remaining voyages some other time.)
I was particularly pleased to be asked to resurrect Miss Crozier for the occasion. Some stories simply refuse to lie down and die!
Please do contact me if you are interested in attending a storytelling workshop and/or participating in the club.
Best,
Coilín.
