Birth Story Corps, Redux!
Friday, May 1st, 7pm @ espresso bueno, Barre
Our first event was so much fun, we had to bring it back again!
Hosted by midwife Katherine Bramhall and her daughter Devin Bramhall of Boston Master Slam Storytelling.
Moms, Dads, Grandparents, birth partners, doulas, midwives and the like will take birth stories to the stage as they attempt to describe the emotional, primal and sometimes hilarious experience that birth is.
“I was so excited to lay it all out there at the first Slam,” says Waterbury resident Becky Colley who just gave birth to her first child nine months ago. “Women don’t share birth stories in honest ways. They feel the need to sugar coat them. My story was raw and real...very real. And it contained swear words. Who gives birth without swearing?”
When asked why she’s attending Birth Story Corps, Tori Edwin of Essex said, “My birth was a riot. It was chaotic. It was messy. It was full of love and laughter. I can’t wait to share my experience in a welcoming setting with people who appreciate birth stories as much as I do.”
Bring a friend or your partner and enjoy a touching night full of sweet stories that are sure to warm your heart. New and experienced storytellers are welcome to participate and will have up to five minutes on stage. Story-free spectators are encouraged to attend. Babies in arms are welcome. A $10 cover charge to benefit Good Beginnings will be collected at the door.
