Belinda Whiting photos from residency

These are the ones which didn't get on the website
see http://www.shallal.org.uk/past-performances.html
and there are many more lovely photos i can show the main co next term....

I am indecisive when it comes to images, "Editing is everything" my brother tells me! he should know, but i have little talent in that area, my improv skills are based on what we call "bodging" and comes from a "make it with whats in front of you" mentality not a planner, although i have had to struggle to acquire some of that with funding needs.
I have dreams and vision and somehow one has to squeeze that into plans, which can work but can hurt in the squeezing!

Shelley O'Berg visited recently and she had such good insights into performance and symbolism that i meant to get her to write them down. Shelley worked in Shallal for approx 3years? about 17 years ago, I can only set it by the age of our children, Esme is nearly 18.

Nearly on holidays.... here are the photos by Belinda Whiting, http://belindawhiting.co.uk/home.html
many thanks to her and we loved working with her and look forward to her working on Cornish Doorways with us.
Also highly recommend her truly beautiful book

Star - warm up
loved the floor and the light

Jonathan made huge strides with balance and confidence in that week
Jonathan normally walks with 2 crutches for support and was moving around with a bamboo like a tightrope walker!

Skye and Katie 

Kerry and Star

Arron was able to be back with us

Hannah (left) visiting with Kerry from Italy! fun in warm up
(Having thought Luke was at school that week, his finished early so he came along on some days)


Anna -  a new member, Paul - returning Shallal 2 member - in the background with Jo and Zoe

we loved the wall it was much used!

Joseph started an open improv

Bamboos, Kerry had wanted to revisit working with them for a long time so we had the time to

Zo and Toby are such wonderful sensitive supportive dancers so we gave them a duet to start with no music, the music followed on from them
