Shallal Dance Theatre comes to Launceston Town Hall with Doorways, an
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)

Fripp & Eno Vinyl
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Sat., Mar 1, 2014
No Pussyfooting is being reissued on vinyl for the first time in nearly 30 years. The album’s return to the 12" format is cut from masters approved by the artists, manufactured on 200g super-heavyweight vinyl and presented in a re-worked version of the original gatefold sleeve, using variant photos from the original photo shoot by Willie Christie. Also available on vinyl is the second Fripp & Eno release, Evening Star.
With just two albums recorded at various point over a four year period, Fripp & Eno had established a rudimentary route map of some of music’s future possibilities. That they still sound so fresh and alive with potential is testament to the strength of the duo’s original ideas.
Fripp & Eno would, individually and collectively, make significant recordings of electronic music in the coming decades, but many, many others would participate in the vast expansion of interest in electronic music that followed.
As starter points for a vast number of musicians, these albums are unparalleled, their influence only beginning to be fully understood and appreciated. Brian Eno is credited with the claim that everyone who originally bought a Velvet Underground album subsequently formed a band.
It’s no less valid to suggest that many of those involved in electronic music might not have been but for No Pussyfooting and Evening Star.
