Ordinary people telling extraordinary stories.
Welcome to our website.
Seanchoíche is a storytelling platform founded in Dublin that currently runs in several countries across Dublin, London, Amsterdam, Sydney, Melbourne, Belfast, Limerick and further afield.
We host nights for people from all corners to come and listen and engage with spoken stories, ranging from personal anecdotes, prose, monologues, fictional narratives and anything in between.
SEANCHOÍCHE
PRONOUNCED: ‘SHANNA-KEY-HUH’
SEANCHOÍCHE is an opportunity to unpack. To come to terms with scars that accompany a personal experience, to gain some closure, to feel something deeper by laughing things out, crying things out, while talking things out. Among all those things, magic is born.
SEANCHOÍCHE is a safe space, it’s an event filled with empathy, catharsis, laughter, tears and joy. For some people, it’s their first time ever speaking in front of a crowd, which makes it even more meaningful and memorable for them. For others, it’s an opportunity to try out their creative juices, and see how a crowd reacts to their story, their comedy, their prose, or sometimes, their spoken word (we tend to have a maximum of one poet per night).
What does ‘Seanchoíche’ mean?
SEANCHAÍ is the Irish for a storyteller.
The plural for SEANCHAÍ is SEANCHAITHE.
OÍCHE is the Irish for night.
