About CRANKYfest 2005
Cranky art uses ancient scroll technology, with a frame, to tell stories in ways that regular performance can’t do. Bread and Puppet first utilized a “cranky” – so called – by Peter Schumann around 1967. Soon after it’s invention, the San Francisco Mime Troupe and other groups began to perform with crankies.

Feeling that this obscure art form needs more attention, we present the first ever CRANKYfest. Come see how artists have taken the cranky idea and worked it into their own theatrical pieces.

There may also be a workshop where you can make your own shoebox cranky, complete with moving pictures to take home and enjoy.
