'Three Loud Knocks' is a series of three fifteen-minute films with quirky characters, delightfully animated stories and silly songs, all set in the town's elegant and beautiful Carnegie Library. They are a celebration of the town's rich heritage.
It’s nighttime in Darwen’s beautiful library and Suzanne the librarian has gone home for the night. The kindly ghost of Mr Joseph Pomfret emerges from his portrait and begins to tidy up when the old library book lift mysteriously starts making noises and sending up stories from the town’s past. Carnegie the dog and Klever Kaff the singing hedgehog accompany Mr Pomfret on his charming adventures inside our historic library.

'A Call To Arms Legs' was a tap dance art project that took place over Zoom in Summer, 2020. It was supported by The Community Foundation for Lancashire Covid-19 Fund.
We attempted to dance and draw our Coronavirus cares away with a cohort of tapping, marker-pen waving local teenagers.
Here's a short film where you can see what we got up to:
The show was a collaboration between choir leader and sound designer Loz Kaye, sculptor and visual artist Marjan Wouda and other members of Beggars Belief. It was dark and funny with beautiful artwork, a masked character, original music and gorgeous imagery. We developed a style of old school scenic painting presented on a rolling overhead projector, this was really effective and cut down on waste. We worked with community choirs in each town to develop a surprise ending where members of the audience seemed to spontaneously stand up and begin singing.
