A time-honored tradition within storytelling and puppetry, “crankies” are a fun, dynamic way to tell a story.
Storyteller and Puppeteer Scottie Rowell will have you using materials within your home, classroom, or art studio to make your own crankie. This three-part workshop includes developing a story, building your crankie, and making additional props and puppets to tell your story. Join us for this fun workshop encouraging the use of discarded and repurposed materials and heaps of imagination. In partnership with Teller Productions of Atlanta, GA.
What are Crankies?
Crankies are a form of visual storytelling with a rich and wonderful history. A crankie theatre is a box built with two spools inside. The spools have handles that can be ‘cranked’ to bring movement to an illustrated scroll that is wound onto the spools.
