Podorythmie, Quebecois for “foot rhythms,” is a four-member group hailing from France and the US. They're known for their high energy and good-time performances of Quebecois music and stepdancing. Fiddle and accordion songs and lots of hard shoe stepdancing interspersed with crankie shows combine to make a unique performance full of surprises.
WORKSHOP: Make and Take Home Your Own Crankie!
1 - 2:30 p.m.
Participants age 7 to 90 are invited to join artist and performer Sue Truman along with the band Podorythmie to make their own moving picture show. No art skills required. A crankie is an old storytelling folk art where a long-illustrated scroll is wound onto two spools and loaded into a box with a viewing screen. The scroll is hand cranked, revealing one scene at a time while a story is told or a tune is played. Crankies were known as moving panoramas in the 19th century.
