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!

Gregory & Rabbit get on Facebook

Ideas are exchanged on how to get the stories out there.  Quest 1 does some role play, discusses the making of an animation, music videos, apps, to books and a play.  Then there is an idea for Rabbit's very own Facebook page.  Ali, rises to the challenge and does the work of setting this...

Then the Blog is created to get stories out and about.

  1. We have gone global with folk reading from USA, UK and South Korea, can we make 1,000, or 10,000 hits on this blog?
