Pleased to be taking a group of artists to Proper Job cafe:
Before that we have our 2 shows:
Journeys
Friday 21 March 7pm
Shallal Dance Theatre performance with BSL translation
free/donation
including presenting Passing on Passmore Cards of Gratitude to two local organisations we feel are aligned to his ideals: Band of Brothers and Transition Penzance
Performance time 50-60mins
Saturday 22 March 3pm
Shallal 2 performance followed by some refreshments and chance to meet the performers
free/donation
Performance time approx 35- 40mins
Both groups are unique with their own personality.
Shallal Dance Theatre has often been called the main company 'mother ship' from which all else in Shallal has sprung from, it compromises about 28 performers at present, some have joined this just year others have been in it since leaving school! We have three families.
Shallal 2 is much smaller younger group based in Falmouth.
They are performing the same theme with some quirky changes, which make it possible to attend both performances and see something very different.
All the tunes are chosen, the dancers define the performance as it goes along. It is fully improvised nothing is set, save the music choices and poetry/spoken word.
On Board
Some of our On Board paintings will be on display
How do we travel? where do we go? why? People have always moved around, as do the plants and animals we share this beautiful home with.

Wildworks
Wildworks would like to invite you to attend a special event at Mount Pleasant Eco Park, Porthtowan, on Sunday 23rd March 2-5pm to celebrate the extraordinary achievements of the
‘Hello Stranger’ programme.
‘Hello Stranger’ is a programme of creative projects that ran throughout April- Dec 2024, as part of Wildwork’s larger programme
‘We are Shining’. This vital work captured a rare snapshot of what Cornwall is today, celebrating Cornwall’s long traditions of welcoming strangers, of community and outdoor performance. Throughout the year we worked with 1606 participants, 161 artists
and performers, and reached audiences of over 80,000.
The project grew in unimaginable ways and Wildworks are deeply proud and thankful for everyone’s hard work.
It’s now 2025 and we are super excited to bring everyone back together for a feast of fun and festivities where you will be able to learn about the projects, share stories, meet new folk and break bread with the
‘Hello Stranger’ community.
*
The event will begin at 2pm, with a chance to view some of the work and meet the participants. We will provide you with a delicious late lunch, served from The Canteen at 3pm, followed by a selection of sharings and performances from some of our
‘Hello Stranger’ projects. The event will finish at 5pm.
