Westbury & beyond!

Quest 2, decided a change of perspective would be cool.   Yes, black sheep do different stuff, lets find a way to really get out there...this could be interesting. Leadership/teamwork was not exactly discussed, more it just happened, a few props and a change of identity took place as quick as a flash.  Where shall we go?  To the White Horse Hill was the cry!  And so, the black sheep, packed themselves into a mini bus, took cameras and a sense of the great unknown and set off into nature.  They were careful to observe the signs along the way as they couldn't actually see a thing!

Where next?

"I thought you were mad when we first met you!" said James, about Jill the artist, remembering how we started out in a drama room, a large group of lads with no shoes on, some strange looking oversized toys, including a rabbit, clown, a poodle with a zipped gusset and a whole bunch of creepy clowns which tinkled when moved. Also, later discovered was a red curtain, a roadside mirror (did someone ask if it was nicked?), a bag with mystery stuff inside. There was no plan, except introduce the toys, each other and have no plan - maybe confusion would set in and half of them would go home. "I don't know what we are doing", said George, over and over, "nor do I? was the reply...."it's all up to you!!!"

Quest 1, Ali, Andrew, Charlie,George, Harry, Henry & Kieran, adopted the giant carrot coloured giant rabbit, and named him Gregory, it was suggested that together with the clown called Charlie, they could go a journey, to perhaps find his way home, to find how to be real and to become somebody! "He's a bit smelly!" was the cry, and so the rabbit's lineage was respectfully discussed - the fact that Auntie Rene (the owner of the toys) smoked 80 fags a day, but dreamt of one day being on the stage, but only made it to working in box offices of some of the most famous theatres of London. "What would they need to survive?" food, housing, work, cleanliness, general healthcare, transport, friends? "Perhaps rabbit could transform from just being nobody to becoming a somebody?" said Kieran.

Quest 2, Chris, Eden, James and Will talked archetypal characters, wizards, altered perspectives, alchemy, weird stuff and there was an interesting discussion about who was most SPECIAL. "Look into my eyes, look into my eyes" said the artist, and donning a fine set of life sized Shaun the Sheep heads, they felt transformed as REAL sheep. And so entered Jacob to herd them into shape. "Let's take to the White Horse hills!" they cried. Mrs Leach who had commissioned the project mentioned that boys thrive on an element of RISK, and later was heard to mutter something about world domination. And, so it all began, a series of journeys, a whole host of folk and surprised moments, interesting events, places, a collection of ideas, Flip cameras, iPads, dig cameras, artist and amazing teacher's assitant Bev and mini- bus. We set off one Quest at a time to discover the REAL world...of Westbury, and maybe wonder about what is beyond!
