‘The Moth’ highlights narrative by Northwestern storytellers

Northwestern State University students opened up about personal experiences and drafted true stories centered on change that were presented before a live audience last weekend. A twoday workshop led by Story Slam instructors from The Moth culminated in presentations that students said were empowering, inspirational and impactful for both the presenters and their audience.

The Moth is a nationally recognized podcast that presents story-telling events across the country to illustrate the connections that people share through first-person storytelling. The NSU students’ stories were crafted over two days and distilled into fiveminute narratives. The stories were recorded and will become part of The Moth’s national archive.

The Moth Instructors Julian Goldhagen, Nancy Ma and Casey Donahue brought a high level of expertise and presence to their work.
