The Lost Grandmother

This was a “practice crank” of me narrating my original story/scroll, “The Lost Grandmother.” This crankie was commissioned and later performed by a nonprofit organization called Random Acts of Silliness. RAS creates immersive pop-up experiences of curiosity and delight in our community. I partnered with local actress Kyrie Dawson, who narrated the story in 8 performances in Bozeman and Belgrade Nov. 2024. Cody Henderson, of WildArts in Bozeman, composed and performed musical accompaniment for my scroll and six other RAS-commissioned scrolls which were created by Montana artists for Bozeman’s 2024 Crankiefest. Crankie wise-woman Sue Truman of thecrankiefactory.com encouraged us throughout the process. Follow Random Acts of Silliness to see excerpts of the performances. Their performance of this crankie is at: vimeo.com/1030...
