A walking dialogue with the past, towards a vision for the future. Led by Vertigo Sea writer-in-residence Cleo Lake.

To mark the closure of Vertigo Sea, dance artist, activist and writer-in-residence Cleo Lake, along with fellow artists and friends, invites you to join them for a walk that will feature dance, spoken word, readings, song and creative expressions.

Taking in green spaces, community assets and historical spaces, we will journey along the River Frome and the River Avon to the harbourside, where we will conduct a short healing ceremony by Pero’s bridge.

Join the Moving Words Facebook event page or follow the hashtag #MovingWordsBristol on Twitter for extra information about the walk.
