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!

Clown Carer Harry

It started off as we just started talking about possible ideas. Then the next thing you know is you are around town with a giant orange rabbit called gregory and a clown called charlie.We went round town talking to people like a car salesman, a vet, bikers and a estate agent. The vet said that the rabbit had no heart which made him feel sad. We later went to create studios and the swindon radio station. When we were there we made music and talk and the radio. My job was to look after Charlie the clown which was not the same as looking after the rabbit because the rabbit is the main part of the quest so you have to help the clown along because he often gets sad.
