Henson Homecoming is tomorrow! 🎉
 
We are thrilled to collaborate with partners Katherine Fahey and Dan Van Allen, a talented local arts and performance duo joining the festivities on Saturday, June 3, from 10 am to 8 pm. Fahey is known as the Godmother of Baltimore Crankies, or paper-cut shadow puppets named for the hand-cranked scroll of illustrated images used to construct stories. Her partner Van Allen showcases his own shadow puppetry, sound work, and poetry. Together, the two artists create a multi-dimensional performance unlike anything else. 
 
Check out these photos of the pair from 2022 by christopher_myers_photo for baltmag, and don’t forget to reserve your tickets for the festival before you arrive tomorrow - link in bio!
