Zoe sends me many lovely photos, this is one of how Al's guitar travels in surreal style on his bike.
Yesterday i received a phone call from Margot who was travelling in UK and found a flyer about us at Krowji.
She is off to Russia so we look forward to hearing about it from her on her return.
Her website:....http://www.bodywisedance.com/
i googled her mentor Liz Lerman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkXeMuJrXrQ
As always something happens to keep me semi alert through the holidays, many thank to all Shallal's friends and supporters ..........we are looking for STUDIO SPACE
Shallal Studios are asking for HELP
We need a low cost or free accessible studio that we could hire for a minimum of 3-6 months?
or can we share your studio space?
have you any ideas/suggestions ..
we would love to hear from you as time is running out.
WHY
As Shallal Studios has secured funding for £10,000 worth of equipment,
however as our new studio space has unexpectedly become unavailable
we are in danger of having to let go of this opportunity if we can't set up our studio and use it soon.

So here i am in holiday type mode, or nearly, the joy of self employment! and some threads to tie up - all nice.
Morning phone call with lovely Johnny Mars and permission to use an original piece of music and hope to do much more...i do love harmonicas and he has covers of some of my favourite jazzy/blues tunes....as well as a beautiful original piece - so it looks as if the film ideas are going to reappear!

A generous sharing spirit and a lovely connection from Toms' mum Judy ..we also have permission to use Sarah Flossy's amazing tune, both played at the service celebrating Tom's life.

Hope to tidy the short film for general viewing over the holidays.
Even more:

i don't always warm to things with Disability in front of people but this sounds like a great festival!
Thanks to Barbara for sharing it with us.
I'm off to read her elegant report on Doorways with Lou Brett's appraisal as well.
One of Shallal's 'proteges' is doing film so i won't put her off by mentioning her by name but i hope she and others might take on this idea so we can do more 'arty' films.
We have such agreat film maker/editors in Barbara, and Lou and George are also really good so now just want to do more art/dance film with music and cross art form etc.....
