About this event

Arts • Literary Arts

Story Factory: Creative Lab + Practitioner Session is an intimate incubator that brings together writers, actors, and creatives to test new work, exchange structured feedback, and connect across borders.

This month’s session features:

  • 4 Script Presentations: Writers share excerpts, actors bring them to life, and the group offers timed feedback. Includes one guest script from NYC’s Actors’ Gym alongside three pieces from Story Factory participants.
  • Guest Practitioner Segment (30 mins): Amanda Moresco, Writer/Director and Co-Director of The Actor’s Gym (NYC). Amanda will share insights on craft, process, and the actor–writer feedback loop, modeling the kind of practitioner-led intensives Story Factory will host.
  • Audience Q&A + Community Connection: A chance to ask questions, meet fellow creatives, and continue building cross-Atlantic creative bridges.

🗓 Sunday, September 28, 2025🕙 10:00 AM–12:00 PM NYC | 4:00 PM–6:00 PM Paris (16:00 - 18:00)

Why attend?Story Factory began in Paris with Narrative in Motion, a sold-out mock incubator night. We are now hosting monthly sessions until our return to Paris full-time. Each gathering is capped to preserve intimacy, ensuring every participant is seen, heard, and supported.

Whether you’re a writer seeking feedback, an actor looking to collaborate, or a creative curious about building stories across borders, this is a space to grow your work and community.

Are you interested in submitting your work-in-progress for the session? Email incubatorparis@gmail.com.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I submit my work?

Email us at incubatorparis@gmail.com, and we'll let you know if your script has been added to the worklist.

Does it have to be new work?

No, it can be whatever work-in-progress you have. Something you've left on the shelf for years, or something you thought of yesterday! We're here to help you grow and shape your next idea.

When will this lab return to Paris?

Our Founder is transitioning a lot at this time, but will hold monthly sessions until we're able to return to Paris for in-person weekly cohorts.

I'm shy...

Many of us are, including our founder. She broke out of it, because her vision for a collaborative creative space is greater than that discomfort. Have work, but need some emotional support? Email us directly!

How much "stage time" does each presenter get?

10 mins to present. 5 minutes of feedback.

Wait a sec, a free creative lab...what's the catch?

At this time, all sessions are free until we establish our in-person location in Paris. But for the rest of 2025, don't even think about the cost!
