ART
Compulsion: St Clements Hospital
St Clements Hospital, London: 8-18 August 2013, 4pm–Sunset. A derelict East End psychiatric hospital and former workhouse is the venue for this exhibition curated by Miranda Housden. Eight artists have created site-specific work in the abandoned rooms and corridors. The transformation of this historic building forms part of this summer’s Shuffle Festival, which includes theatre, poetry readings, and films curated by director and local resident, Danny Boyle.

Exhibiting Artists:....
Kerry Lawrence’s delicate drawing Take me Home transforms the cell like Turret of Saint Clement’s into a crystaline lace haven made from Windolene. The toxic pink liquid is re-worked into threads of lace, paying homage to the painstaking craft which women and children were engaged in during their time in the Victorian workhouses. Take me Home refers to a longing to return – words taken from Lawrence’s relative who was once a patient at St Clement’s – it expresses the desire for healing and coming home.

Shelley O'Berg who also worked in Shallal ( many years ago) was visiting this summer and suggested a summer school or reunion or ? that is a nice idea. It could be big or small but definitely worth thinking about and would be good to have something in the summer for those who miss it. After thoughts from Inclusivity days could fit into some of it?
I would like 2 days: one open, and one for current or past members to meet /play together.....
This looks interesting!

Another interesting website to visit is from Laura Wild, we really miss working with her and she has consolidated her work developing;
Roaming Penzance (previously Breadline Art Group) a new company - Roaming CIC -roamingon.weebly.com
A Thank you to Genie Smart who has served and supported us as a trustee, we are really grateful for all she has given and will keep in touch. I am copying Terry's letter as he expresses it well for us all.
Dear Genie
Thank you for all you help and assistance as a trustee of Shallal. You have been a tower of strength to Shallal and I know that I, and others within Shallal, will miss you tremendously. We all hope that the link remains and we will see you at future performances and events. You will always be welcome, as you are regarded as a true friend of Shallal by the company as a whole and personally by all those involved in Shallal, whatever their role.
We all wish you the very best for the future.
Regards
Terry Stanton
