Moving Souls Dance have commissioned artists to design a sculpture made from sustainable materials to imagine the spirit of the River Avon. This group of artists will help to co-create the drama and music that will reveal the current health of the River Avon and their concerns will be embroidered into a wall hanging for future exhibition.

Moving Souls Dance is working in partnership with River Hope, Rubbish Friends and The Crowne Plaza Hotel Stratford Upon Avon
