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!

Westbury station - a ticket to somewhere!




Thank you for organising our very own train!

Amazingly the travellers and staff at Westbury Train Station take giant toys on a journey in their stride.  A very nice lady is happy to stop and join in with creating story scenes, whilst only having two minutes before catching her train.  We enter the station and a few eyebrows are raised, tickets organised and a whole train is found and dedicated to for the personal use of Rabbit and Clown, they are like royalty, said one very nice conductor, whilst another said "you don't see many orange coloured rabbits on national rail", they went on to tell us about a play he made at school called Slack Adder.
