Join us for CAMP’s first ever CRANK-A-PALOOZA! With Peter Balkwill and Monica Ila
Crankies (or Moving Panoramas) are a unique way of sharing a visual tale over a series of minutes, sharing only what you want your audience to see, one frame at a time. Learn storytelling techniques from renowned puppeteer and teacher Peter Balkwill and create your own Crankies with multidisciplinary artist Monica Ila in this three-part series. Participants will have time to conceive a story, construct a letter-sized cardboard Crankie Theatre, and share their creations with workshop participants. All materials will be provided and no previous experience is necessary.
