Über uns
Hey Storytellers & Story-listeners!
We meet monthly for an entertaining event with heart: storytelling.
It's a creative detour from the whizz and beep of our digital, urban lives. We come together as strangers, exchange stories, and somehow leave a bit more connected through our shared human experiences.
If you gotta story, we gotta stage! BUT, if you don't have a story - please come and enjoy listening.
You'll be inspired by the tales of ordinary Berliners going through extraordinary moments in their lives.
THE BEAR. true stories. told live.
Each bilingual evening consists of 8 randomly chosen stories in English and German. These amazing true personal stories are told live without notes. Each storyteller has the stage for 7 minutes of fame and glory!
Live music and lively audience interaction connects the evening led by the show host and Bear Dyane Neiman. Just for fun: Three teams of judges, choose the evening’s favorite story. Winners are invited for a Grand Slam every June.
If you would like help with getting your story ready for the stage, please contact us: hello@thebear-storytelling.de
See you with or without a story at our next THE BEAR Meet Up,
Dyane.

We work warm, respectful and on eye level. We learn in community and from each other. No prior experience needed.How this series came to life
Inspired by the book Invisible Women, this series was born from the realization that we need more women’s voices in leadership, politics, panels: in all rooms. Esther connected with fellow changemakers Anni, Francesca, and Priscillia to create a space where women and non-binary professionals can build skills, visibility and confidence together.
