"many people said one of their favourite people was Trevor.
Gestural communication in dance is a wonderful way to communicate with Trevor to appreciate his cheeky, twinkling humour and innate sense of style!"

I'm grateful for many things and knowing Trevor is one of them. He has passed on peacefully at 80 after increasing dementia, so he is at peace.
My grief is strong and looking at it it has lot to do with history and politics.
Trevor acted courteously and interested in everyone and their families, friendships. He was always in supported living while i knew him and i think had spent quite lot of his life in it.
So who knew him well ?over a long time? family but they lived far away, who was there on a day to day basis, staff can be fantastic but change and they don't know that ie. 5 years ago you really enjoyed something or......they might not be in a placed to 'fight your corner 'make that extra effort that means you can do something, or can but not always...
Who "has your back' as a friend would say?
Trevor gave so much and couldn't always speak clearly but communicated well!
I've written about him often in this blog, often i see now on his birthdays. Always one for an event.
I felt very privileged to know Trevor, he once gave me for no apparent reason a bottle of champagne in a blue plastic bag and another time a bunch of fake daffodils i still treasure in my 'office.'
I want to write more but think i will leave the space for comments from us all and add to it later...
In Shallal Dance Theatre we will stay on zoom over lunch on Friday and we will have a minutes silence and start to create work to remember and honour him
