Godiva awakes


Tomorrow, Imagineer Productions' 21st Century Godiva will awake to a spectacular performance involving dancers, actors, aerialists, musicians and pyrotechnicians. 

On Sunday  carnivalists and 220 young people will process through Coventry in celebration at the unveiling of this Godiva for the modern age. 

From 30 July to  5 August, powered by 100 cyclists, Godiva (actually a double-decker bus sized puppet) will then journey to London to celebrate the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

You can see it locally on Thursday 2 August when there could be  delays on the road between Woburn Sands and Streatley  as Godiva Awakes makes its way across the area.
Godiva Awakes is part of Artists Taking the Lead, a series of 12 public art commissions across the UK to celebrate the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad, funded by Arts Council England.
