This March Take Art are delighted to be touring Ben Osborne’s ground breaking Jurassic Journey to eight Somerset venues, a multi-media showcase that tells the story of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, inspired by its geology, wildlife, culture, its people and its landscapes.
Since 2009 award-winning photographer Ben Osborne has been recording a visual and audio diary of his experiences as he travels the Jurassic Coast. The show Jurassic Journey is a culmination of this work and an exciting fusion of photography, digital imagery, music, poetry and sculpture made from flotsam and jetsam, love and genius.
Along with Ben’s photography, film and hugely entertaining presenting skills, the show will also feature specially commissioned music by Dorset composer Sammy Hurden, poetry by inventive Devon-based poet Matt Harvey and some engaging puppet art by artist/sculptor Lal Hitchcock.
Commentary, audio-visual sequences, sound-scapes and humour will create a richly entertaining evening for anyone interested in what happens when four artists take a close (and occasionally sideways) look at the Jurassic Coast.
Jurassic Journey will be touring round Somerset from the March 14 to March 24, stopping off at Holford & District Village Hall, Stoke St Mary, Clapton & Wayford, West Camel, Wellington Arts Centre, Ashbrittle, North Cadbury and Kingsdon Village Hall.
Sarah Peterkin Diretor of Take Art Live said, “Ben is well-known in Somerset for his wonderful shows, Life in the Freezer and Common Source. We are delighted that he has created a new show about the beautiful Dorset coastline, a favourite walking spot for so many Somerset folk. Jurassic Journey promises to be a real highlight of the season.”
