As we’ve mentioned earlier here, the location of the Digital Cabaret, Tangier, closed at the end of 2008. We’ve been keeping our eye out for a new location. But we’re also rethinking the format of the event.
While the Moth Storyslams were part of the inspiration of the Digital Cabaret, stories are inhereantly different that videos. If you go to the Moth, you might think “Hey, I’ve got a story to tell!” Unless you planned ahead, it’s unlikely that you’ll have a video in your back pocket. This makes a big difference!
So where do we go from here? We’re thinking of reconfiguring the event to be a bit more like a screening or mini-festival with live musical performances. So we’re putting this to you, dear reader! If you have a video short you’d like to share or know someone who does, contact us! We’ll start putting together a great event very soon.
In the meantime, we encourage you to attend a Moth StorySlam in Los Angeles and get back to the basics of effective storytelling.
Now you have TWO chances a month!
- On the third Thursday of the month, the Moth is at El Cid on the Eastside. The next one is March 17 with the theme “Birthdays“.
- On the last Monday of the month, the Moth is at Air-Conditioned on the Westside. The next one is March 30 with the theme “Songs”.
And again, we’ll have an update very soon!
