SPUN: Rebellion
Spun Stories has proven to be a huge success since its launch in 2015, with more than 90 stories shared at 15 sold out events.
At the most recent instalment at Darwin Festival, Spun gave a little more insight into what goes on behind the scenes, shining a light on their producers.
Off The Leash caught up with one of these producers, Kylie Stevenson, who was recently nominated for a Walkley Award for her podcast Lost In Larrimah, to tell us more about her process with Spun.
Why did you want to get involved with Spun?
I really loved going to the event as a spectator and I love storytelling.
How do you know who has a good story?
Everyone has a story. There are stories hidden all over Darwin – you never know who you’re talking to. There might be someone you say hi to at the shops and they may have the most extraordinary life story. It’s about finding those people and giving them the opportunity to tell their story.
Can you give us a sneak peek at what can be expected at the next event?
The theme is ‘rebellion’ and we’ve got a line up including a local legend, some rabble-rousers and those who buck the trends and pave the way for progress.
