Bex - South London
Bex is the Bexley Heath Champion.
She will be staring in a book being written by Bexley writers in residence Steve Tasane and Rosemary Harris for the Bexley Playbuilders project. Bex will be the central character in the book and will visit the best play sites in the borough with a group of Bexley children, whilst being pursued by the evil Grumblebum!
The 1.1M Playbuilders scheme will see 25 new or redeveloped sites open in Bexley by the end of 2010 with a focus on imaginative, creative and risky play. Each play site will tell a story or relate to a local urban myth about the surrounding area and guide young people to the next new play opportunity, Bex will help to tell this story.
Bex has been rehearsing for this new role at Rose Bruford with three third year students and two graduates. She is planning five days of trips into the local community to get to know Bexley, this will include visits to schools, football matches and libraries.
