Crankies (a modern day version of 19th Century moving panoramas) received a lot of press last week. Sue Truman (IPC member) coordinated the first CRANKIE FEST at the Northwest Folklife Festival in Seattle. Four crankie artists (Dejah Leger, Charmaine Slaven, Gregory Johnson and Sue Truman) performed to a full house and a very enthusiastic audience.
