Clare Milne Trust, Differently Abled Conference, new trustee Alexandra Zierle and residency updates!

A big thank you to The Clare Milne Trust for funding our new exciting Always New research, this is a springboard to the work which we will build upon and expand in our AMATA residency. We are thrilled to have their support to start work and to investigate pop ups and all that is behind them.
You can see us at Differently Abled conference Plymouth 17 March and we plan to be at Falmouth Art Gallery towards the end of March with snippets of work.

As things develop I had a meeting with musician/artist Jamie Mills, Oli Raymond Barker and George Bradley Peer this week to look at further developments. The conversation went into photography and so i was lost but also excited! so much we can do with cross art forms informing each other....and musical boxes! i love watching and learning from peoples creative mind sets and outlooks and approaches. I will learn a lot i think and some of the dancers will have a great opportunity or much more, we shall see where it all leads us!

Friday afternoon Alexandra Zierle popped into the main company Art and Production time. We are very pleased to announce that before she left she had been voted in as Shallal's new trustee.
Alexandra and her partner Paul both worked voluntarily within Shallal approximately 10 years ago before going off to international travels. While they were with us they helped Terri edit a beautiful 4 min doc about the main company. We are so pleased and excited to have her " on board".

“Their creation of an emotionally intense, site-specific ambush, that ebbed, flowed and ricocheted throughout the museum for the better part of three hours, renewed my faith in the ability of people to sincerely and honestly affect how others view the world and operate within it. They performed with a profound endurance, intelligence, and grace that felt motivated by an inherent generosity in their approach to human interaction. I believe everyone there felt connected; we were breathing in the scenarios they devised, watching, as if experiencing the world, together, for the first time”, Warren Fry, audience member

While chatting with her i was so pleased to share the news of our Porthmeor Studios Residency - many thanks to our other new trustee Henrietta Boex for enabling this. Henrietta is Director of Falmouth Art Gallery.  It will be July, August and September! - we are all indulging our best beach fantasies, the turquoise sea in front, the Tate nearby and the island to the right and town behind you! 
The steering group meet on the 9th and we will start to plan and timetable - anyone interested in being involved please contact me via admin@shallal.org.uk 

More of this as it develops,  we face 4 months of wonderful residencies: Porthmeor Studio July - September and Back Lane West in October and Shallal Dance Theatre have 5 days at The Performance Centre with an AMATA residency 20 - 24 July.

Anna and Annis 
are about to start working with Falmouth Art Gallery towards  Silver Arts Awards, this will help them both develop their arts experience and portfolios.
