The Seattle Branch of the Northwest Narrative Medicine Collaborative presents our 10th Seattle Interstitium: a storytelling evening that invites our community to share stories of how health and illness shape our lives.
You are invited to listen to/tell a health-related story on the theme "Making the Call"- whatever that inspires in you.
Your story can be funny, serious, heartfelt, absurd, lyrical, etc. It can be expressed as a narrative, poem, song, movement, or any genre of your liking.
We are seeking story-tellers and story-appreciators, as we gather together to build a narrative medicine community.
Story guidelines:
- may be read from a written story, or told extemporaneously
- please maintain patient/people privacy and don't use actual names unless you have permission
- story content can range from serious to funny to absurd to dramatic
