‘Face To Face’

Shallal Dance Theatre

 ‘spontaneous response’ performance 

the dancers haven’t heard the album 

before so everything is new created in the moment

 in response to the music and each other 

and you!

Face To Face album - Alex Heffes

What is Face To Face?

“For years people asked me many variations of one particular question: 

“ Where does your inspiration as a composer come from?” 

This inspired me to make a record - one that was entirely improvised - 

nothing prepared in advance. 

I chose 6 inspiring collaborators to record in 6 inspiring locations. 

My task: to commit to whatever happened in that space on that day 

and make a piece of music. 

Face To Face is my answer to this question.”

Thank you for coming 

Both these groups meet regularly and are open, do join us!

Shallal are committed to Culture Declares Emergency, 

last year we celebrated ‘Passing on Passmore,’ 

this year with all that is going on in our world, we want to celebrate ‘Migration’, 

we all move and we can enrich each others lives.

Thank you to all our artists and to all who support us.

DIY Fashion show

 Can't wait to see the DIY Fashion Show.

It's a dream come true for one of the artists Zoe Wilton. There has been a long and wonderful journey getting to this point, which probably needs its own blog sometime.

One for the artist facilitators for it is Amy and I'm just about to add her info rather late to our website.

There is now too much going on for my blog to represent it well....so please check out our News section on our website for updates and or follow instagram.

On Saturday we had Footnotes training for Shallal associate artists and facilitators.

Very interesting and i think will prove helpful to many of us, it was warmly recommended by Lou.

We are glad to be working with Kelly Taylor and Jen Roskilly Andrews who are doing our Arts Council evaluation, we feel we can really learn from them, it was a really good first meeting and they are deep diving into the Fashion show this Wednesday.

Meet the artists!

 Meet the artists!

The initial marks were created in performance at the Tate St Ives and then worked on back at our space on Friday afternoons for 5 sessions.

Toby, Kerry, Colin, Jo, Eddie, Tina and Sam

We plan to hang these for our next show at Princess Pavillions, Falmouth.

Just looked on https://www.falmouth.ac.uk/staff/kuldip-singh-barmi

"Kuldip's current performance work is based on his research into improvisation as a performance practice, instant composition."

Interested to see how similar it is to our 'spontaneous response.'
