Moondog

Well here I am writing credit lists and looking up titles for this evenings show and while searching for one I googled Moondog. Many years ago Phil, i think, gave me CD and i had always thought it was 60/70's experimental music group ..    it's much more interesting than that and do just click here  thevikingof6thavenue.com/kickstarter_campaign and hear about this extraordinary artist.
We love the quirky music and Shallal 2 use two of his tracks, and we look forward to seeing The Viking of 6th Avenue.

Snaps from Godolphin

It's easier to get good photos with less people in, so these are fun, and capture some lovely moments but not representative of the scale of the work ....with normally more than 6 on stage!
Thanks to Anne for photos!
I am so sorry we didn't film it, another time!
Glen and Toby in an Always New, George improv

Zo, Colin and Lydia leaving the stage with giggles, Sam in background

Star and Trevor

Trevor and the ladies,! his partners for the day, Star and Demelza

You can see Shallal 2 and Shallal Dance Theatre with George's exciting new work, along with Travelling Time Wasters and Skye at The Performance Centre this Friday, well worth seeing a complimentary mixture of talents and styles.

Summer Flyers - hope to see you soon!

Tomorrow!

George creates wonderful sound landscapes with his new wave drum and a variety of acoustic instruments we have had some months working with him and Always New and Shared Vision will let you see some of the ways of working we are exploring!!
Choose between two beautiful spaces or come to both! 

Thank you to Michael, Annis and Anna for creating this poster. The photo credits are Andy Parker for the top and Anna for below.
We are so looking forward to this, Shallal 2 are an extraordinary ensemble group and they are joined by the elder Shallal Dance Theatre our main co ( twice the size and nearly 30 yrs old!!) and Skye singer/song writer ( she performs in both groups) and Eddie's band ( Eddie is a past member of both groups and hopes to return soon). We are looking forward to seeing them as we missed their set at Holifield. Travelling Time Wasters includes Stewart and Adrian.

Last not least, HELP we need funds so we don't have to close our groups while awaiting the arrival of grants!!
We are always grateful for how much support we are given and we hope to provide a fun event: more open mike sessions by popular demand, lots of tea and cake and good company, pop in and see the art and buy some!
At St Peter's Hall our past and current home and great supporters through the years. A big thank you to them and all in the community there.

photos from Holifield and poster for 18th!


Many thanks to Mark of markfalmouth.photoshelter.com for these lovely photos.
Hayley from Friends and Dancing joined us for our meeting!



indoor procession!





Queen of Hearts out and about again with her jam tarts,
we had water melon for Mazey day!

Relaxing on wheels afterwards, serenaded by Toby, and tea and chat - we couldn't get the sedan chair to Holifield, as our van has died.

All change for Always New, some familiar pieces some completely new and our improvisation explorations with George which has given the performance it's name.
Hope to see you there!
