Moving Company Art students donate project to Warwick Valley Humane Society

WARWICK — Young students enrolled in the Moving Company Modern Dance Center summer arts program recently donated a colorful bamboo rug to the Warwick Valley Humane Society’s animal shelter.
The children had decided to design a rug that would help raise awareness of the homeless pets waiting weeks to months to sometimes years for a family to adopt them.
“It’s adorable,” said Suzyn Barron, president of the Warwick Valley Humane Society. “It’s incredible that these creative kids chose our organization. It’s bright and cheerful and the message is important.”
Barron plans to hang the rug somewhere at the shelter instead of allowing people or even animals to tread on it.
“I am so happy about that,” said Linda Mensch, director of The Moving Company Modern Dance Center. “And the kids will be thrilled if they are able to see this displayed. They sat and made sketches then decided as a group how they could incorporate everyone’s idea. They designed it from soup to nuts. Having the goal of creating this for the cause of helping animals made them work in a beautiful cooperative way.”
The Moving Company Modern Dance Center is located in the Vastu center at 17 Main St. in the Village of Warwick.
“We have always been the school that explores creativity within all classes,” said Mensch. “Our summer program explores visual as well as performing arts. There are full days of creating art, dance, poetry, theater and games.”
