Underworld

Underworld is a project by Shallal Studios artists exploring bats and seaweed. Over eight months 74 artists and 85 school children researched and developed work through a series of workshops that explored Cornwall’s natural world - low beneath the surface of the sea and high into the night sky. The multi-sensory project was led by the artists’ research, coming together through two exhibitions at Kresen Kernow & Falmouth Art Gallery, an e-book and a printed zine. 

Sketchbooks Library

Shallal Sketchbooks is an ongoing community art project involving hundreds of people in the UK and overseas over the past five years. Participants are sent a sketchbook in the post and after three months they return the full sketchbook to Shallal to be included in a growing travelling library.

We are grateful to our social prescribing partners Imagine If CIC for helping Sketchbooks to carry on through the current pandemic.

Picture It

Picture It was a show by Shallal 2 community dance company at Falmouth Art Gallery on 12th December 2018. The performance was inspired by pictures exhibited in the gallery.

Many thanks to Falmouth Art Gallery for their continued and valuable support.

Ladders and Footprints

Ladders and Footprints was a show devised by Shallal Dance Theatre to be performed at Falmouth Library as part of Shallal's Cornish Doorways project 2015-2018

The show began outside, playing to delighted passing audiences and then went into the lobby making use of the grand staircase and ended with scenes in the library.

Chromatic

Chromatic took as it's starting point some black and white photographs from a Falmouth Art Gallery exhibition. Shallal Dance Theatre had a research visit, chose photographs to respond to and then created the show.

Working with artist Deana Holloway to create and decorate frames and explore the work in various ways.

Harry Theaker came along to watch and helped out which was the start of an ongoing supportive creative relationship...revisiting us to give valuable feedback for Ladders and Footprints and Trebah Operation Neptune film performance and site improvisations.
