Hyde Park Storytelling started in a backyard a decade ago and they've been gathering people together to hear true live stories ever since.
Arts Eclectic turns the spotlight on happenings in the arts and culture scene in and around the Austin area. Through interviews with local musicians, dancers, singers, and artists, Arts Eclectic aims to bring locals to the forefront and highlight community cultural events.Support for Arts Eclectic comes from Broadway Bank, The Contemporary Austin, and The Blanton.“About 10 years ago, we were both roommates actually in Hyde Park,” Erin Givarz says of the origins of Hyde Park Storytelling.
“Yeah, 10 years of doing this storytelling show,” Stoner says. “It is a live true storytelling show that happens in backyards throughout Austin. And it is just people telling true stories about themselves in five to seven minutes.” Of course, when you have 500 people gathered together, it’s a tight fit for a regular behind-a-house backyard. These days the show has mostly moved on to larger venues , but the creators have worked to keep the backyard vibe a part of the show. “When we moved to Batch, it was really important for us to maintain the backyard feel,” Stoner says. “You know, people come and hang out for an hour and that the show is about an hour long.
