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 search

Can you spot the odd one out?

quest |kwest|
nouna long or arduous search for something:
Five sheepish looking characters are interviewed intensely about their experience.  
What was the quest all about...was anything discovered?  
Talk turns to feeling included/excluded or being part of a team.
What was learnt/experienced? How could things be different?
Subjects experienced along the way are confirmed as including:  Geography, English, Art, Drama, RE and PE.  Thank goodness noone mentioned first aid.  A 60 mile bike ride is recalled.Meanwhile, where is Rabbit & Clown?
