Trevor Press release, photo & Ode!

 Trevor Press release

thanks to our wonderful wordsmith Jo L

 and a photo

"A much loved member of Cornish performance company Shallal Dance Theatre will be celebrated in style this week .
Trevor's Tribute Tea Dance will be held at Princess Pavillion 6-8pm Friday 15th July.
Trevor Hills was a longstanding and  popular performer, loved by everyone and known for his unique dress sense.

Trevor died in 2021 during covid restrictions, so few company members were able to attend his funeral. A show for Trevor was a must, a piece to commemorate and celebrate the life of this very special man.

Trevor's wonderful personality brought warmth and gentleness to the room and his humour was infectious. A natural clown, his humour was visual and playful and he loved being silly.
Occasionally Trevor could be seen in sensible sweatshirt and jogging bottoms, but usually he sported one of two distinctive outfits; his James Bond style suit, complete with bow tie, or full Scottish attire featuring hat, woollen socks and kilt with sporran.

The Trevor Hills Memorial Fund has been set up, with money donated being used to help with transport costs for those needing help to attend Shallal sessions. The company believes lack of transport should not be a barrier to access and attendance.

Shallal welcomes everyone to watch this special performance, featuring dance, music, song and poetry, then join in with a dance if desired!
There will be a buffet spread and of course plenty of tea.
Come 'dress to impress' in party frocks, snazzy shirts and hats.
Smart suits and kilts most welcome!"


Ode to Trevor
