The Indra Congress
Also this amazing work by David who comes to Liskeard 'Out There' group:
http://www.theindracongress.com/

......a global metaphor for the Golden Rule, i.e. that all peoples are treated as we would wish to be treated ourselves. The young participants, co-ordinators, artists and others that make up the precious jewels in the net of the Indra Congress, use the wonderful, probing, challenging and joyful language of the arts as a vehicle to this end: together we imagine and aspire to a better world guided by compassion, justice and creativity.

I am 'proud' not an adjective i use easily, but friends are starting Welcome - Falmouth and Penryn Welcome refugee families
some of you may remember we sent money from Shallal 2's Porthmeor Show to Peoples Action in housing,  many people want to help the refugee crisis, and this is in response to that need on both sides, for help and to help.
You can meet Welcome at Parklive http://www.parklive.rocks/
in Falmouth on Sunday 24 June 10.30- 6.30pm, i hope to be there 2.30-4.30 
and there are plans for an event at Falmouth Art Gallery on Saturday...

Thank you to Victoria and don't forget the 22 June!

                                                           Big thank you to Victoria

hat and prop making added to Victorias skills!

Now we know the project has fully come to it's conclusion as Victoria leaves. We wish her well in all here new ventures!
As our new project co-ordinator she came along and saved us ( me mainly! as we had regular weekly meetings to keep on top of the delivery, timetable, recording and reporting) from confusion as we delivered the Cornish Doorways Project involving ......
2 major outdoor site specific shows, research and development, exhibitions,  installations, film, a book, prop making, visiting artists, outreach performances to libraries and more...as well as all the behind the scenes running of Shallal Dance Theatre.
We couldn't have done it without her and she also picked up along the way Costume - fantastic and much noted by audience and appreciated by performers,
and then the wonderful Shallal Sketchbooks came into it's own under her inspiration....travel to look at all she as done ....

Tom

Sometimes sorrow just hits out of the blue!
I had a hard day with rehearsals for 'Remembering Marjorie' on Friday, some great work was done, but i am slow and that frustrates me - all normal creative process stuff - and then i came home to news.
Via a friend i heard news that Tom, who was the first Associate artist in the Liskeard group had died, as far as i know from a seizure, he had had a head injury which left him prone to seizures.

The news left me reeling and tonight i have heard of the service to celebrate his life on Saturday 2pm in Somerset.

We send his mum Judy and his sister our deepest sympathy and much love.

Tom was a joy to work with: intelligent, sensitive, highly creative, easy going, joyful, amusing, friendly. He had a capacity of 'heart'. We had wonderful wide ranging conversations on our way to and from work he was very insightful and perceptive and really understood improvisation, i learnt a lot from him.

Tom had wanted to see some footage of a performance he was in at Dance Platform 2016, so now i will try to edit it out for the occasion.
You can see a few rehearsal photos on:

Donations in memory of Tom are for these charities

Shallal 2 are looking for alternative funding streams, any suggestions welcome.
The group has grown again recently with old participants returning and new ones joining and progressing to Shallal Dance Theatre.
It is so good to be able to offer a range of opportunities to people so they can be in the group that suits them at the time and move around when/if needed....

Studio progressing slowly but surely, hope to be there in the summer sun soon.....
