THE PROJECT
MAJORETTE MEG: EASTLEIGH ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
Commissioned by Eastleigh Borough Council.
Inspired by local heritage to take on the role of Majorette Meg, Megan created & hosted a series of events inspired by PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE themes, connecting PLAY with PLAYce. Supported by Creative Producer Ronnie Houselander-Cook, Meg’s activities included :
-
A customised helter skelter in the town centre, asking residents to slide into the PAST with Majorette Meg & share memories.
-
A crafty workshop of wing making to celebrate all that’s flying in the borough in PRESENT day.
-
An ice cream van exchange asking residents what they scream for in the FUTURE.
-
A podcast of Meg’s Eastleigh findings was recorded with audio artist Rowan Bishop.

FEEDBACK
‘"We do have fond memories of this place. I guess you just don’t often think of them. You always just think Beastleigh Eastleigh but it is nice for families, a community, and we are making memories today and we’ve done lots of that in the past too"
"Nice to be asked what I think not just “done” to me"
"Open up more about life that I didn’t think about before"
