“The reason why raisins are dry is that radiation dries the grape to make the raisin.” In June 2018, we recorded a very long "Chinese Whisper" at several primary schools in Exeter. The original text was written by Michael Rosen, but the fun really starts as his words get mangled as we go down the line. Featuring the pupils of Exwick Heights Primary School, Saint Leonard's Church of England Primary School, Saint Sidwell's Church of England Primary School & Nursery, and Willowbrook Primary School. Conceived and directed by Ed Baxter and produced by Michael Umney. Commissioned by University of Exeter Arts & Culture as part of Exeter Sound Context. With thanks to all the pupils and teachers who helped with this project.
