entertaining compilation of highlights from their successful summer
site specific Cornish Doorways shows, featured at Godolphin House,
Mousehole and Gyllyngdune Gardens,Falmouth.
Shallal
is a longstanding inclusive community dance theatre company open to all
and their aim is to challenge who can perform and how by providing a performance space for anyone in the community. Their
work is based on natural dance and theatre improvisation. Shallal's
productions are created by the members of the company, who work
collaboratively to devise performances which are built from
improvisations and ideas that the participants all contribute during the
rehearsal period. A range of visiting artists including Rory McDermott,
poet Sally Crabtree, film-maker Barbara Santi and composer Roger
Pinsent also work with the company on this creative process giving
access to a wide variety of skills, media and ideas.
Doorways
is a family friendly entertainment as lively, imaginative and varied as
its creators. From crows to clowns, mysterious white ladies to
mythical sea creatures, to romantic duets, there is something for
everyone.
Doorways will be performed at Launceston Town Hall on Friday 23rd November at 1.30pm. Tickets on the door £6.00 (concessions £4.00)

Sixteen Years Ago This Week
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Mon., Apr 7, 2014
ProjeKct Two's Space Groove album was released 16 years ago this very week coinciding with a Japanese tour where they shared the bill with the crew of Bruford Levin Upper Extremities. You can download that gig in Nagoya (or purchase a 20 gig bundle) here.
The Space Groove album came out of an intensive three-day blast between Adrian Belew on V-Drums and Robert Fripp and Trey Gunn recorded at Belew's studio, marking the first recorded shot in the frakctalisation of King Crimson's Double Trio incarnation.
Sixteen years on how does Space Groove stand up? Is it a case of lost in space or space is the place as far as you're concerned. Thoughts and comments on the guestbook please.
