Find Your Creative Giant
“Kids are naturally theatrical. Born performers. Rag And Bone give them the chance to do just that, but with a magical twist. Here, kids perform their OWN plays, speak their own self-scripted words. This is the future of theatre. It’s fresh, creative and inspirational. For performer and audience alike. And I’m proud to help support it.
This is just the start. Rag And Bone is a beautiful idea with a beautiful future.”
Trevor Beattie was a founding partner and creative director of Beattie McGuinness Bungay (BMB), and was formerly the chairman and creative director of TBWA London. Considered one of the leading figures in advertising in Britain, he has been responsible for a number of high-profile and sometimes controversial advertising campaigns, most notably the “fcuk” campaign for French Connection and the 1994 Wonderbra.
In November 2011, Trevor launched The Jack and Ada Beattie Foundation in honour of his parents. It supports victims of social injustice by providing grants to both organisations and individuals under the themes of ‘Dignity’, ‘Freedom’ and ‘Sanctuary’.
Trevor and Laura became friends when she was studying at London Studio Centre and they shared an interest in performance work and theatre. Trevor has now moved in to film production, creating Trevor Beattie Films and producing the Bafta winning movie Moon, directed by Duncan Jones in 2008.
