“It brought tears to my eyes, love to my heart, and joy to those who shared their stories. A beautiful piece all around!”
– Barrie Hartman
The Story Portal aims to connect individuals to the vast world of shared experience through spontaneous and true storytelling. The concept is simple: spin the wheel and tell us a true story about the topic you receive.
With only a stage, a microphone and speakers, and seating for friends or strangers, the setup is simple, yet the impact can be profound. Listeners sit in sympathy with the storyteller, tears streaming down their faces. A storyteller shrieks with laughter at his own folly. The aspect of public speaking creates an expectant environment, and the pressure helps the storyteller find the power in their own experience to express their truth.
The Story Portal stage is a fully interactive experience, replete with sound, lighting and pyrotechnic effects. When participants spin the wheel, the stage, coined a ‘steampunk time machine’, comes to life. Then the 10′ tall story wheel begins to settle, landing on a prompt, inspiring the fated storyteller to spontaneously share a story from their life with the audience.
Our beautifully produced stage serves multiple purposes for your events:
The Story Portal stage is a stunning art installation in its own right. The beautiful steampunk aesthetic, professional lighting, pyrotechnics and sound effect design, together create a piece of art people will simply sit back and revel in.
The super power of The Story Portal stage is its ability to bring people together in community. Strangers and friends alike will make the most unexpected connections at your events, discovering how alike their life experiences actually are. These are connections they will remember forever, and they will remember that they were made at your event. It facilitates participants telling the story of your organization or event. We offer the option of creating custom topic panels that encourage participants to share stories about their experiences at your event over the years. This builds connection and loyalty to the community you build year after year and helps to further establish your brand in the hearts of participants.
Our stage is the perfect backdrop for your music and performance artists. It is an out of the box setup with stunning aesthetic, lighting and even pyrotechnics. The stage is perfect for DJs and the size can be extended to accommodate full bands.
