QUEST: Bratton Woods and back again!

What is the story?

An exciting participatory arts project created by twelve nominated students from Matravers School, Westbury & Jill Carter, Social Engagement Artist. Exploring the theme of identity, the lads directed and undertook a series of performative journeys. Using a collection of found objects (toys), they set out to explore a world of work & play, responding to folk, everyday situations and environments along the way. The hugely creative process was documented with photography, film, drawings, dialogue & journals. There was potential to unearth, stories to unfold and dreams of a large rabbit, clown and group of black sheep ... finding their way, discovering new friends, standing out from the crowd, and truly becoming somebody!

Bratton Woods and back again!

During the project of Quest I have met new people, learnt new things and had exciting experiences!! We have been to the White Horse and really enjoyed ourselves, we have been sliding down hills and the White Horse itself!

We have also been to Bratton Woods and had a really good time! We have been running through the woods, running through streams, swinging on rope swings hanging from trees and some of the group have been walking through pools of running water!

It has been a really good experience and I would LOVE to do something like this again! :-)
