SUMMARY:what stories are made of
DESCRIPTION:The 19th Vancouver International Storytelling Festival\nA 
 festival to celebrate the many different kinds of stories people tell.
  There are so many genres and styles of oral-literature. This festival
  aspires to hold a listening space for all. From the first-person-pers
 onal to the mythic, from archetypical landscapes to the geographic rea
 lities of these Salish Territories.\nEach story stands alone. The stor
 ies, when taken together, provide the warp and weft for a larger, emer
 gent narrative tapestry.\nOn Friday, June 8, the festival will open wi
 th a gala event at the Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden.\nOn Satur
 day, June 9, the free ELEMENTAL bike /bus tour will take participants 
 to 5 different locations, experiencing 5 elements (air, earth, water, 
 fire and metal). From a 7 foot storytelling kite launching hopes and w
 ishes for the world in Strathcona’ s Crab Park to the False Creek Fl
 ats, where a handmade paper storybook set in ice will be unveiled…. 
 from the Flats to the heights of the Mt. Pleasant Watershed and then t
 he Fraserview slopes in South Vancouver; at each stop, kids and adults
  will have a chance to hear stories about crucial city decisions, invo
 lve themselves in their planning, and learn about the background of co
 mmunity engagement - whether it’s food policy, geographic and ecolog
 ical history, day lighting old creeks, or municipal planning. The tour
  ends with a free reception on the grounds of Hycroft . There, individ
 uals will have a taste of delicious goodies sourced from local urban f
 arms and through Slow Food Vancouver.\nVancouver Society of Storytelli
 ng events appeal to their large adult following. Saturday evening, aud
 iences can enjoy ‘Ghost Stories’ at Hycroft.\nOn Sunday June 10th
