Story Artists: Ben Tucker, Terry Stokes, Holly Robison, Linda Brown

What is Stories in Living Color? Storytellers working together to learn about race, and unlearn racism and discrimination. Storytellers of different races, or from communities that face discrimination have teamed up and crafted individual, but "paired" stories; stories that intersect and illustrate aspects of race, racism, and discrimination. Our goal is to uncover our individual
racist and discriminatory tendencies, unlearn those tendencies, and together help to change our society.
This event is a co-production of the Storytelling Association of California and Six Feet Apart Productions and features Stories in Black and White, told by paired black and white storytellers.

Always wanted to know what it feels like to be Indiana Jones? This is your chance to take a dive into remote, obscure corners of the past, following a half-forgotten trail of folktales and legends! Researching traditional stories can be difficult, but it also leads to exciting,
unexpected, and illuminating discoveries. This session, led by an archaeologist and storyteller, offers insight into how to track down some of the most elusive tales.
By the end of the session participants will be familiar with the basics of storytelling research, as well as some less well-known techniques for tracking down a tale. They will be aware of how classic folklore research tools (e.g. the ATU motif index) work together with modern media, and how stories can be tracked down above
and beyond Google search.
They will know about taking research across language barriers, and also will have learned some tips on how to organize and maintain one’s notes and findings.

5th Adults ONLY Stories: Storytelling While Parenting

Cost: Free, open for donations
In seeking truth you have to get both sides of a story.
—Walter Cronkite
Sacred can mean so many things and so we invite many voices to meet and share the “sacred” space within each of us. Sacred Stories are stories that inspire us, remind us we are not alone, and connect us in our universality of emotion and experience. They are stories that inspire, cause healing laughter, reviving tears and give us the motivation to act for peace, unity and
justice. We will have live and pre-recorded stories. Our pre-recorded stories will be from those storytellers who are no longer with us in body, but their voice lives on in our hearts and hearts. This program we will honor storyteller and poets Thomas Doty, Terry Koops, Maurice Kenny, and, most recently deceased, Clayton Williamson. Featured storytellers are Lona Bartlett (NC), Jim Brule (NY), Victoria Burnett (CA), Allison Downey (MI), Laura Simms (NY), and an extra special time with Joseph
Bruchac (NY).
