New Beginnings
title by Helen from Zoom sessions Dance and Art Connection
Relevant was our word for RE project with Make and Mends.
Growing on from our Passing On Passmore project and pod casts, we want to stay relevant but give light and hope. in my mind is the movement of peoples, migration and how we respond and how we can be good neighbours and a global community.
So i chose a lighter album than before for our spontaneous response performance. an album which celebrates improvisation - see last blog - and global artists meeting in the moment creating 'beauty,' finding a voice together.
We have used 2 tracks in previous shows as i have known the album for some years. I was very excited when my brother and his wife after much searching worked with Alex Heffes for the music for their film, The Elephant Queen

so Shallal 2 are busy working on an opening performance 15-20 minutes and then Shallal Dance Theatre spontaneous response performance approx 50 minutes, unrehearsed unknown in the moment dance artists collaborating...love it!
Shallal Dance Theatre are excited for our next spontaneous response performance, along with a section by local Falmouth based Shallal 2.
Recent audience feedback includes "Shallal- Beautiful, truthful and very moving, this didn't feel like a 'labelled inclusive performance'
it was grace and expression on the deepest human level, almost spiritual. Totally absorbing."
Hope you can join us!

Shallal have pioneered an approach to dance theatre performance "spontaneous response,' derived from Open Improvisation, which aspires to access and equity at its heart by giving the decisions in the moment to the dance artists. It can create a warm rapport and relationship with the audience as well as with the other performers. Come along and enjoy this new and vital way of working.
