Coventry based Imagineer Productions will present the Godiva Awakes project, commissioned through Artists taking the lead an exciting project forming part of London 2012’s Cultural Olympiad and funded by Arts Council England, at the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum, Coventry on 1 and 2 October 2010.
In July 2012, Godiva will awake to a spectacular performance involving dancers, actors, aerialists, musicians, pyrotechnicians, carnivalists and young people in a procession marking the unveiling of this Lady Godiva for the modern age. Powered by 50 cyclists, on a structure called the Cyclopedia, Godiva will then journey to London to play a part in the London 2012 celebrations. She will be a symbol of justice for the 21st Century embodying the values of fair play, friendship, respect and courage that are at the heart of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Visitors to the exhibition at the Herbert will be able to view prototypes for each element of the project from plans and an animation of the amazing Cyclopedia to sculpted maquettes of Lady Godiva to the designs for the stained glass windows that will appear in Godiva’s chamber to the initial designs for Lady Godiva’s coat which, in 2012, will carry messages from the region to London.
