‘The Walnut Tree’
June 2020
I shared my short paper puppetry & music film at the LOCKDOWN INSIDE-OUT ONLINE FESTIVAL 2020 (not the same as the after-party which featured a mini paper puppetry performance reciting one of my poems, ‘Where have all the walnut trees gone?’).
I created the story with hand-drawn paper puppets and asked Euan Smith to work on the music and editing of the film, all done and dusted in less than a week. It would have been a live puppetry and music performance but had to be adapted due to lockdown. If you check it out, I hope you enjoy it and our work. Do let me know what you think.

202020 Slough – Paper Cinema Tales
The arts heritage project, exploring aspects of theatre making, live performance, live streaming and micro short film making inspired by old cinema tickets with a core community group through free online introductory sessions that started in October – December 2020, working towards and culminating in a finished artwork’s for showcase at an Exhibition. Due to the pandemic, the exhibition was stalled and in its place, a pre-recorded presentation of the project processes and examples of art work was live-streamed to the Slough Libraries Facebook Page as part of their Sunday morning, ‘Memory Lane’ Series (link below).
Slough Libraries and Slough Museum still welcome contributions of memories. Open to all or particularly if you have memories of the 1920’s/1930’s movie palaces in Slough from The Palace, The Adelphi, The Ambassador and The Granada. You are welcome to participate remotely by preparing your response to the question below and send in via email or direct to Slough Libraries or Slough Museum via the presentation link above on Facebook, your written response and audio recording (of your written response). Mobile phone voice recorders are fine.
What is your earliest memory of going to the cinema, picture house or movie palace? And how did it make you feel?
