About

Want to shake up your day? Join our GRIEF RAVE on the Sabrina 5 barge at National Waterways Museum Gloucester, for a collective and free space to dance.

On Sabrina 5 at National Waterways Museum Gloucester, Gloucester Docks
Saturday 15th February 2-4pm

​The idea is to come together to play songs that connect us to people we have loved and lost, songs for political grief, music for any kind of loss or change. We're bringing people together through movement, reimagining folk traditions and rituals, and using movement to process emotions.

Annie Frost Nicholson and co have curated Grief Raves as part of the Fandangoe Skip installations in London and NYC. Annie and The Loss Project have been working with our GAS Young Creatives to bring this unique experience to us.

And now it's coming to Gloucester!

​Who's welcome?
EVERYONE!
