Why Join FEAST?Access regular webinars that offer you the chance to learn from experienced tellers as they share ideas on different aspects of storytelling.The annual conference is a chance to meet fellow tellers, take part in practical workshops and see/hear lots of storytellers in action. The conference will be held in a different Asian city each year.FEAST was set up by the directors of storytelling festivals in Bangkok, Chennai, Jakarta, Kuching, Seoul and Singapore, so if you tell a story at the Conference . . . you may be talent-spotted!Professional members, have your own page which can introduce you to people looking for a storyteller outside of your usual contacts.Enjoy our catalogue of stories told and recorded by our members - and not only in English, too! (The full catalogue will only be accessible to members.) Over time it will become a fascinating and invaluable resource. Looking for a story? Or a story on a theme? Or for a particular age-group? Or occasion? Submit your storytelling questions to our Forum and tap on the shared wisdom of like-minded people. UPDATE 2 JANUARY 2021: All memberships are now tied to our financial year. This means memberships will run from 1 July to 30th June. Consequently NEW APPLICANTS will pay a pro-rated fee for the remaining months of the membership (eg $25 for professional members signing up in January.) The fee is calculated monthly. (If you join in June, you will pay the full fee but it will be for 13 months to June 30th of the following year.) EXISTING MEMBERS: when your current membership expires, you will be asked to renew to June 30th at the prevailing pro-rated rate; this is a one-time inconvenience to align you with the new system. |

We hope this information will be useful for fellow members and prospective clients who may be looking for telling talents.
