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!

Greg gets a parking ticket

Quest 1 were most impressed when the mini-bus gets a parking ticket in the town centre.  A big discussion takes place about correct methods of parking, Bev who is valiant with the white beast is quite sheepish, and the ticket collector reads the riot act, in very professional way.  Take it up with the council he cries when I chase him.  Actually, I just want you to meet our friend and so he did.

The lads are dead impressed when in the midst of our embarrassing situation an English lady from Australia winds down the window of her car and waves her newly issued ticket furiously at the warden and shares a string of expletives.  We had visited the veg shop, estate agents, cleaners, cafe, chemists and were horrified to see the ticket, but the lads were more interested in the fact that you could get a discount for early payment.



Your parking is not going to get ten out of ten!
