Archive: Capturing a Moment was a community projection shown in Buxton in October 2021.

Capturing a Moment brought memories and imagined stories of Spring Gardens to the former Marks and Spencer building on 1 and 2 October 2021. The Buxton Our Street project archive describes the finished animation as 15 minutes long, shown on a loop with original music. Its linked video uses the title Capturing the Moment.

Babbling Vagabonds Storytelling Theatre gathered memories, drawings and stories from local people and worked with projection specialists Illuminos to create the animation.

The event was advertised as free.

The projection was the pilot project for Buxton Our Street, a programme of cultural activity connected with the town’s High Street Heritage Action Zone.

The programme used Spring Gardens as a setting for community arts and heritage projects. You can watch the animation via the project archive.
