A Country Adventure
Impressed by their taste of A City Adventure the Combined Arts Officers of Arts Council England commissioned a training day for their professional development in the Oxfordshire countryside during July 2004.
We heard their plans to meet the night before and eat in a local restaurant and persuaded them to let us start A Country Adventure early, in a replica Iron Age Roundhouse rather.
We staged the meal and prepared the starters (salads presented as a models of the territory they would walk the next day).
The next day participants returned to the roundhouse to collect their plates and wash them in the Thames. Through the morning they navigated the Little Wittingham Nature Reserve in pairs undertaking creative tasks and drawing up a fictional map of their adventure.
In the afternoon we facilitated discussion by having the participants paint these maps onto the plates they ate off the night before and washed that morning.
