Showcasing and Sharing Friday 5 November 2-3pm

New venues, bring new opportunities and I wouldn't have forseen what moving Shallal Dance Theatre back to rehearse at St Peters Church Newlyn, (not the Hall which was our home for many many years, and is now sold,) would bring.

A wooden floor, vast high ceiling space, ideal for covid precautions as a minimal risk airy environment, with access would bring. 

The first 2-3 weeks we settled in and created A Call to Home, then watching the improvising standard a thought was born, to do more, share more and the space is lovely, inviting and interesting, you can work in a near round, room for safely spaced audience and so...

Showcasing and Sharing is our new offer.

Showcasing - Open Improvisation spontaneous performance,  Embodied Space ES style

and 

Sharing - last time we did a an ES at Newlyn Art Gallery the audience wanted to try it and join in afterwards and they did, with joy! If we get tired? we can do 'chat to the performers' and a Questions & Answers Q&A  time at the end.

The space has arches, depth, views through and a piano!! so the live music is wonderful 

and we are Research & Developing R&D it  

Friday November 5th 2-3pm.

An outreach Back Lane West Residency initiative, so much good comes from these research times.

 Hope you can come along and join us entry free, donations encouraged 

sthese will be shared between St Peters Church and Shallal and if over £100, 

we will donate the extra to Penwith Welcomes Refugees

It feels a real coming of age and a really necessary part of the performers development to have a regular performance slot ( approx every month, if it works out) and a really interesting bridge between performance and participation and sharing the 'weird and wonderful' creative way which is Shallal, more often and openly with the wider community, all ages, all abilities, all giving their best, working without words ( although we just have another actor so that might change, Shallal changes with each artist who joins us) and in gesture with playfulness and as a person said play is serious work for children and spans so much...oops stopping now! before i ramble on we will leave that for another blog .....

Poster coming soon!
