ABOUT STORIES IN LIVING COLOR:
Stories in Living Color was a project of the Storytelling Association of California (SAC), teaming up storytellers of different races, or communities that face discrimination, to work on paired stories that illustrate issues regarding race, racism, or discrimination.
PAIRED STORIES
What are paired stories? Stories from two tellers’ lives and experiences that intersect or are of a similar theme. They may be personal stories or traditional tales.
WORKING TOGETHER
Paired tellers spent time getting to know one another through discussions of their lived experiences concerning race, racism, or discrimination. Through this process the two tellers identified and developed story-lines that intersect in some way. Tellers decided the length of their individual stories, with an approximate total telling time of 20-25 minutes for the two stories.
HONING YOUR STORYTELLING CHOPS
SAC provided work-shopping sessions for all tellers, with expert advice and consultation. All storytellers were welcome, regardless of experience.
LEARNING
Tellers learned about challenges faced by their partner providing an opportunity to learn about how race, racism and discrimination have impacted their lives. White tellers must be open to this process, as people of color have experiences of racism and discrimination that white people have never experienced, and will never experience, due to institutionalized white privilege.
FURTHER LEARNING, FOR A WIDER AUDIENCE
SAC will endeavor to find online storytelling venues around the country and will arrange for paired storytellers to appear on these “shows.” Prior to the show an emcee will discuss the tellers’ stories with them and head up a discussion after their performance. This will enrich the learning process for both tellers and audience alike.
