A colossal wooden horse has brought legend to life for the students of Tate Street
Primary School, thanks to a $36,000 grant.
The groundbreaking project is one of the first of the Extended School Residencies
funded by Arts Victoria in association with the Department.
The four-metre high Trojan horse was created by local artists Glen Romanis and Stuart
Guthrie as the centerpiece of the school’s latest stage show, The Legend of Troy. Torquay
artist Janet Muller added the final touch by creating the helmets and shields worn by
students during the battle sequences.
Students worked with artistic director Dave Kelman for three hours every Friday for
20 weeks to get ready for the play, and he was hugely impressed by their dedication to
creating a production of epic proportions.
“This is our first project in Geelong,” he said. “It has been fantastic to work at Tate
Street and we have been blown away by the talent and enthusiasm of the young people
and the professionalism and commitment of the staff. This work is about telling an
important story for our times. It is not about ‘stars’; everyone is equally important and
they must work together to make the story work for the audience.”
