Lydia is a lady of outfits, sometimes 3 a day!!
this was her Halloween theme for lunch

Now with Facebook and our Shallal Studios blog, it is sometimes a decision as to where to put things, however this blog is still a good place for bits from everything.

Open invitation to friends to join us on Friday 18th 11am for free Squashbox Theatre Show at St Peter's Hall, Newlyn.

Good news that the Safariseat Kickstarter project we have mentioned and advertised on FB, has hit a target to £50,000 and is still going strong. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/safariseat/safariseat-open-source-wheelchair-for-developing-c/posts/1720814


Footprints residency at Back Lane West has started and going strong, last week Joan Gabie followed by Anna and Annis, this week Laura Menzies and friends, follow it on Shallal Studios blog and FB.

Shallal Sketchbooks relaunch with Victoria Hodgkinson and has its first official outing soon to St Levan School and then the residency. Fantastic to have it in partnership with Falmouth Art Gallery and library, and how things swing round as some years ago the Libraries put in for a combined project and now it is happening!

Happy Birthday to Demelza a week or so ago!

Photos from rehearsal 4 November:

experience and risk taking, combined in Demelza, Kerry and Zoe.
Kerry with Colin and Pep are in BLW soon for a day exploring hanging off stepladders!

Skye has written and recorded a lovely song for us, but i was unsure how we would use it, however on Friday it found its home accompanying this, which became a potential centre piece with 4 other supporting groups for the stairwell maybe - very exciting! The teenagers are sorely missed however we were able to commission this song from Skye, and Anna and Annis have been in Back Lane West, so we are all still connected!

Lydia threw off her pink visor - very fetching on Colin!

Really good morning at least 4 new pieces on the way

Thinking of making a short documentary with Barbara Santi for a PDSW competition which focuses on dancers over 50! there are 8 of us now over 50, our age range at present is 19 - 83 or 84?
