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!

Rabbit meets a big dogl!

Do you know how I can find my way to becoming real?
Lots of folk have shown incredible goodwill in participating in this storytelling project.  So far, the process includes:
  • Students idea - a journey of toy rabbit & clown to become real
  • Artist idea - how about we invite & engage all those we meet along the way
  • Artist documented with portrait photography & journal & blog
  • Students documented action, portraits & events using digital photography / journaling / will add to this blog
  • Ideas for creative responses discussed so far, making music for image slideshow, dig photo album, commentary archive, apps, music video, a play!
  • Wanted - ways to bring it all together?
