This three-part collaborative project between Get Changed and National Trust Castle Drogo included various art installations, theatrical performances, and a promenade show. The art installations included sound installations, spinning portraits, and memorial displays. The theatrical performances included silent movies with live music, ghost stories, and Victorian games. The culminating promenade performance celebrated Victorian life through music and dramatizations of Drogo's history over several days in September 2014. The project received funding from several sources.
