What are Story Circles?

Story Circles are groups of people, sitting around in circles, telling and listening to each other’s stories. Though storytelling has been around since the beginning of time, the form I’m facilitating was born out of the Civil Rights Movement. It was developed by the Free Southern Theatre (aka Junebug Productions), the theatrical wing of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, in collaboration with Appalachia’s Roadside Theatre, and it continues to be used all over the world.
