Many thanks to Iris for sending these photos.
 They are really good and I look forward to watching her career as she gets older.

They are also a real compliment to Ian for coming in with so little time and giving us such wonderful lighting.
 When we arrived at The Exchange they had on a great interactive print exhibition, so we had to wait till the gallery closed till we could set up, which left us very little time. Ian had never seen the show before just a dvd of our first performance, so a big thank you to him for all his generous help, and to his son who came to help.


Theatre and the arts can end up like a big family and so; Ian (lighting at the Exchange) is Sam's dad ( Sam has been in the  main company via Open House for many years), Iris is Tim ( a trustee ) and Ruth's daughter ( Ruth who played music with the main company ), Skye is  Anne (a trustee who sits patiently trying to write bids with me!) and Jem's daughter (Jem designed our website) and for anyone who doesn't know Anna is my youngest daughter.

 Tim, Ruth and Ian also through their work have organised and facilitated performances for / with us,
Tim with PYSO , Penzance Youth String Orchestra, www.pyso.org.uk/  Ruth with Cornwall Music Therapy Trust, Music Changes Lives Conference, www.cornwallmusictherapy.org.uk/ Ian at Penwith College as part of their Equality and Diversity week, so thank you to everyone for their continued support and talents.


I think this is also a testimony to the power of attraction which is how Shallal has always survived and thrived. Very little of this involvement is ever strategically planned, it grows from the work itself and is providential. eg. when Jem designed the website for us Anne and Skye weren't involved in Shallal.
