However here we go:
*good meeting with Kiki Gale and she and i start work hopefully on 11th looking at short, mid and longterm funding and organisational work - thank you to Lesley-ann for coming along and helping it all happen
*on the behind the scenes our monthly business meetings are going well, thanks to all the team
* as are our trustees meetings and a new trustee waiting in the wings with different and complimentary skills and interests
*Victoria and i also meet nearly every week project co-ordination (and my brain is so grateful!) and all is going well - we are also doing a bit of sideways hatching of Shallal Sketchbooks again a dearly loved idea which Victoria can run with and Hennie also has had in her dream list so we will all meet very soon.
*Shallal Sketchbooks have had help from Anne Macakay and Lou Brett and now Victoria is spreading it out again and it feels right. It will be in our November Back Lane West residency and Falmouth library or art gallery next summer as part of Doorways.
*So my 'to do list' involves our new group at Liskerett Centre, Liskeard starting in September with well known dance artist Lois Taylor. I am looking forward to working with Lois. Michael can design us a poster and we will start getting the word out so people can free up their timetables to come along!
Thursdays 10.15am - 12.15pm
*and then dear old Back Lane West again
what a privilege and pleasure to have that space to fill! and I need to write a bid for it and contact all artists and dream and scheme a little... or a lot!
*email surprises this morning, wonderful visiting artists feedback from Steve Tanner ....
"As always a delight and pleasure to work with ‘The Shallal Team’
I hope to do more in the future, as the process is so accepting, non judgemental, refreshing, raw, encouraging and fulfilling.
Keep on doing what you do. It feels so rich and emotional for the participants that flows over to the audience."
What could we improve on? "I guess only with more support/money to push the work to get more people to see it."
*Press release/s - one successful for Sam's Show!

hanging the show this Saturday
Shallal 2 showing work at it on Wednesday 6.15pm
Private view 6 - 8pm
6th July
Shallal 2 collected a wonderful body of work over the last few months but have had people in and out of sessions so a struggle with continuity, however we have gathered some pieces we like that work to show on Wednesday, and it all feels better now we have the order and had a rehearsal last night! - they are always worth watching!
We couldn't get a reporter so have collated our own press review for Doorways which we will publish here soon!
