Stories in Living Color is an ongoing 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 will spend time getting to know one another through discussions of their lived experiences concerning race, racism, or discrimination.  Through this process the two tellers will identify and develop storylines that intersect in some way.  Tellers will decide 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 will provide workshopping sessions for all tellers, with expert advice and consultation.  All storytellers are welcome, regardless of experience.

LEARNING
Tellers will learn 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.
