Story Slam

featuring David Cabeceiras (English), Hannah Dang (English), Aisha Hashimi (Allied Health Sciences), Natasha Khetan (Allied Health Sciences and Disability Studies), Martine August Remi (Digital Media and Design), and Myles Tate-Alsgaard (General Studies)

Thursday, March 27, 2025, 3:30pm, Ballard Museum Black Box Theatre

Six students will perform their personal stories in an intimate show reflecting on issues of social isolation and connection.

Stories stick with us. They connect us to each other. In a world where we are more disconnected from each other than ever, stories can be healing. They help us see new perspectives and share ideas, building identity and community.

From finding connection in the boxing ring to understanding identity through language, six students will share their unique perspectives on what it means to find connection. UCHI Student Ambassadors worked with Story Slam coaches Jon Adler and Gillian Epstein to craft their stories into a performance, culminating in the UConn Story Slam where they will tell their stories in front of a live audience.
