Toronto has a huge variety of events and shows available to anyone to have a great time with. From great restaurants and clubs to movies and theatre and music and everything in between, Toronto is a huge city that can cater to all kinds of tastes. One of the coolest concepts in town has to be the storytelling culture of the city – for a huge metropolis, it can get downright cozy sometimes with all the events aimed at telling a story! From talking about terrible dates to sharing important stories about community and life, there’s always something interesting happening in this city.
Why storytelling?
Humans are a very story-driven species, from reading to your kids, to listening to your friends, to Netflix itself, stories run our lives and make us feel all kinds of things that we need to feel in order to be happy and healthy. By seeing live performances, you get the added knowledge that what you’re experiencing is a real and vibrant look into people’s lives that you may not otherwise have known! It’s important to share experiences, and in a city as big as Toronto, this can be important to getting everyone on the same boat – it’s easier to empathize with someone after they tell their story, after all!
For a good time, try Tinder Tales!
A live event where, “dating app users and online daters get on stage and tell a story,” this event promises all kinds of laughs and awkward times. In the increasingly online world of dating, everyone has had their fair share of bad experiences and this event is a great way for really funny and talented people to share their concerns about the online dating scene. Located in some awesome bars around the city, this is the perfect way to relax and have a fun time out, all while hearing some great stories!
For something a bit more serious, try Stories of Ours
It’s important to understand and empathize with those around us in order to make Toronto as beautiful and wonderful a city as it can possibly be. By listening to the stories at an event like Stories of Ours, you’ll be better able to understand the troubles and issues that other people have in the city and be a positive source of encouragement for them! The best way to promote community is to engage and listen, and that’s what this event is all about.
