The Moth Pop Up Porch Tour will visit New Orleans at the French Market (at the intersection of French Market Place and Governor Nicholls Street).
Free and open to the public, The Moth Pop Up Porch, presented in collaboration with General Motors, is a brave space for sharing stories and connecting with those around you.
At The Moth Pop Up Porch you can:
Meet Moth story directors, instructors and producers
Learn how to craft and pitch your own story
Listen to stories from The Moth archive
Attend a community event featuring local musicians, artists and creators
Take part in workshops with local community organizations
We’ll also host a Moth StorySLAM at Cafe Istanbul. StorySLAMs are ticketed, open-mic storytelling competitions where anyone with a five-minute story based on the event’s theme can take the stage to share their story and compete for the title of StorySLAM champ! No story, no problem! Join us at the StorySLAM to meet locals from your community and listen to stories.
