Kentucky Storyteller Mary Hamilton will bring her art of the traditional spoken tale to Lindsey Wilson College, Tuesday, February 20, 2018, starting at 7pmCT, in the Slider Recital Hall, 155 Blue Raider Drive, Columbia, KY,as part of the college's Cultural Events Series. The performance is open to students and to members of the surrounding community.



Hamilton brings no props or fancy costumes or elaborate lighting and sound equipment to her performances. Using only the sound of her voice, Hamilton allows each audience member to furnish his or her mind withtheir own imagined sights and sounds that bring each story to life.

It's an entertainment technique as old as humanity, when the ancients sat around campfires and told tales of heroes and villains, saints and sinners.

"In stage or movie performances, the sights are in front of your eyes," Hamilton said. "With storytelling, the scenery and action are behind your eyes. Listeners design their own sets in their imaginations. They give their characters the faces that they create. Every listener has a unique experience."

Hamilton, who lives in Frankfurt, began storytelling as a profession in 1983, although her fascination with telling tales goes back to her grammar school days when she made up stories of fanciful adventures to share with her fellow students.

Hamilton brings what she calls a "just talking style" to her rendering of stories about personal experiences and about Kentucky folklore, along with legends, myths, fiction.
