Abstract

Recently, I discovered a storytelling device called a “Crankie” theatre. A crankie is a box built with two spools inside holding a length of paper, upon which a story is drawn or painted. Turning the crank handles, the story is told as a moving panorama. Akin to turning the pages of a book, the audience of the crankie sees only one image at a time, and a feeling of anticipation is produced about the unfolding story.
