1:00 PM Workshop
Discover the wonders of crankies with instructor Katherine Fahey by making a matchbox into a storytelling machine! Explore the art of basic crankie making on a miniature scale. Get creative, by drawing your own scroll and proscenium or use the ones provided. This workshop will feature a crankie performance by teachers Katherine Fahey and Dan Van Allen. These crankies can be an end in themselves or drafts for larger pieces. If you plan to design your own, come prepared with a simple story or song to base your crankie on. If you’d like to do so, there will be time for sharing your crankie at the end of the workshop.

Watch the world’s greatest stories unroll before your eyes! Flushing Town Hall is thrilled to produce this festival of scrolled panoramas, known as “crankies,” for CRANKIES TAKE NEW YORK!!!!!!

 A crankie is basic in concept: it is a scroll that provides the visual narration to a story or song. Versions of the crankie have been around for hundreds of years, if not longer; their most recent iteration is directly linked to moving panoramas popular in the 19th Century. In recent years, artists have begun to embrace the intimacy of the format, creating multi-layered, immersive experiences for audiences that create a sort of fireside wonder. It's mesmerizing and the perfect respite from our digital world. 

Both evening shows will feature the same lineup of artists and musicians. While the performances will not have anything explicit, we recommend these shows for adult audiences and mature youth. 

Join us for a youth matinee on Saturday that will feature a smaller cast for a tailored kids and family program. Come early to make your own crankie!

Full Artist lineup to be announced in early 2025.
