INCLUSION
One of my new loves is Instagram, the world of images, following: artist friends to our youngest son and fun to follow those who travel and some fantastic photographers ....

so recently an old Shallal friend posted

a comment under a sketch of her son doing ballet bar work....

"You cannot train someone to be inclusive. There is no evidence or proof to show that the individual has a heart. No scale for me to check that they can hear the blood thundering through every maternal vessel. My knuckles are sore from knocking on doors. My knees are worn from praying. My words can no longer tell the whole story, it is so long and lost its relevance along with my voice. I forget how to ask nicely anymore, I forget how to ask, I forget. You cannot train someone to be inclusive but over the years I have learnt that the first word you hear from their mouths, the very first word is, "Yes!" that is how i can tell. Thank you @jowillis3 and @cornwalldance1 for saying yes xxx"


We worked together many years ago in dance and in the first Back Lane West residency and i am very moved and grateful to be remembered.


THANKS

Many thanks to all the team tirelessly working to bring in funding and gain exposure for our work, particularly at present Lou Brett and Barbara Santi who are also Awen Productions!

Also do follow the wonderful world of Shallal Sketchbooks and how it is grown and styled under the talents of Victoria.

How nice to work with Zoe Osmond and Lois Taylor in Liskeard and Kerry Tomlins is working more with us now in Penzance and comes regularly to Shallal Dance Theatre, Pep is sharing his vast expertise and I hope to step out of staging production organisation more and more - not my best talent!
I have always been impressed by the open hearted and creative people who are attracted to Shallal and have helped us along the way, some stay and make a 'home', others 'live' with us for a while! for it all, we are very grateful!
