About
Come and be amazed by the work of young people and elders living in Tyneside, who together have created 100 crankie theatres, packed full of Tyneside stories.
Drawing inspiration from local folklore uncovered in The Great North Museum’s library and archive, participants have narrated and illustrated memories from their neighbourhoods, retold either as truthful recollections or reimagined as modern fairy tales.
You will also get the chance to explore a specially crafted visual story of the project created by local artist Anna-Marie Gallares.
Part of the Moving Parts Arts Easter Puppetry Programme.
Moving Parts Arts is an award winning arts and community development organisation founded in 2017.
