"sad as this is we can devise many creative and collaborative alternatives to getting together physically."  
Jo Lumber associate artist Shallal2, performer/writer Shallal Dance Theatre

"I trust in our collaborative creativity, care and vision and adaptability to see us all through this coming time with fantastic projects as outcomes: puppet shows, online galleries, forums, sketchbooks, songs, poems, dances, short films, keep fit & have fun at home!  (do those personnel projects we never have time for) 
Reach out and stay connected." Jo Willis creative director
