First Friday Story Night with guest teller Ingrid Nixon
January 5th, 7 to 9 pm, Friends Meetinghouse, 1841 Sheridan Street, PT
As the calendar unfurls it first few leaves into existence and we all practice writing "2018" in our journals and forms, it's time again for First Friday Story Night! We are very blessed to have the Olympic Peninsula's own amazing Ingrid Nixon whose globetrotting ribbon of circumstance has brought her home for a short stay at this corner of the year! With her incredible skill and yarn weaving prowess, she'll be treating us to a program entitled" Dats What I Yam: Stories About Identity".
From time immemorial, great philosophers have pondered what makes us who we are. Join storyteller Ingrid Nixon for an engaging night of stories from life and folklore that further explore what shapes who we become and what we can do about it. Ingrid is a world-traveling and award-winning storyteller. Exploration nail-biters, tall tales, traditional and personal stories—she tells them all on international expeditions, and at venues around the country, including the National Storytelling Festival. She holds a Masters in Storytelling from East Tennessee State University. After living in Alaska for many years working as a National Park Service ranger, she currently hails from the Olympic Peninsula. More at ingridnixon.com.
Following the Ingrid's program, there’ll be an open mic session in which attendees can sign up to share stories, songs, and words of poetry. Host Aimee Ringle closes the evening with a tale or two honoring the wonderful theme of identity. Suggested sustaining donation is $10.
First Friday Story Night was initiated in 2009 by Brian Rohr and continued since 2013 under the stewardship of Aimee Ringle and several other local storytellers from the Quimper Story Guild. It is a monthly event that explores the art and ritual of the oral tradition; sharing old myths, folk tales, fairy tales, along with first person and modern stories. After 8 wonderful years at Better Living Through Coffee, the Friends’ Meetinghouse is providing a new home from the 2017-2018 season.
