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!

The Estate Agent

Could I be the next apprentice?


Andy writes: When Jill first came to our school everyone thought that this was going to be really silly. But after we gave it an hour or so to plan out what we were going to do we couldn't get enough of it! One idea sprang another idea, things we thought weren't possible actually were. We found out ways of communicating with the community around Westbury, seeing how they reacted was brilliant!

  1. What fun. I love the concept, maybe it is time for Rabbit, his friend Clown and the Black Sheep to come up with a CV outlining their skills, aspirations and interests!!

  2. "You said you want to live in a burrow .... not got many of those on my books". Said the estate agent.

    "If you try the woodwork shop they might be able to make you a hutch ... any good ?"
