1. Introduction

This annual report tells the reader about the achievements of Shallal, its participants and facilitators in the last year and how the money has been spent.

If you are new to Shallal you may be interested in the information at the end of the document which tells you about what Shallal exists to do.

The main Annual Report contains reports and celebrations from our Chair, our Creative Director and from our facilitators.

2. Chair’s Report from Henrietta Boex.

Chair’s report 2022/23

It falls to me every year to try to distill Shallal’s achievements into one significant paragraph, knowing that all the reports that follow mine will more than put the flesh on the bones and the wonderful images included will bring all the joyousness alive.

It is so inspiring to be part of a charitable trust that is, without doubt, making the world a better place, for everyone who comes into its orbit. For me, one of the most important things we introduced in 2022/23 was to broaden the membership and to bring everyone including the trustees regularly into contact through quarterly on-line member meetings. This is a forum where everyone has a chance to express what they value about Shallal and what they might like to do in future as part of Shallal and a chance for the trustees to sit up and listen. Just glancing through my notes for 2 nd May 2023 I see words like ‘freedom’, ‘wellbeing’ and increasingly ‘family’, ‘support’ and ‘joy’. Of course, support comes in every shape and size and none of our activities would be possible without our volunteers who give generously of their time and the on-going support of our major funders, whether it is for the expanding outreach groups supported by the Henry Smith Foundation or the myriad activities of the Main Company, Shallal 2, Shallal Studio and Shallal Sketchbooks supported variously by National Lottery Reaching Communities, National Lottery Heritage Fund, Cornwall Community Foundation, Arts Council England, Postcode Local, Claire Milne Trust, Ashley Family Foundation as well as the generosity of individual members of the public.

I wish to thank everyone listed at Section 10 of this report for all their hard work and commitment and in particular the main facilitators, Jo Willis, Colin Curbishley Jo Willis, Deborah O’Nyons, Lois Taylor and Lou Brett and Phoebe Barnicoat. My thanks too to the associate artists who support the

3

members Demelza Rouncefield, Jo Lumber, Star, and Janice Schneider. I also, want to thank my fellow trustees for the considerable time that they devote to Shallal and the

skills that they bring to the Board and I am sure that they in turn wish to thank Chris Gardner and Ian

Burns for their background administrative services.

As I have said it every year I may as well say it again - WELL DONE to one and all! Henrietta Boex September 2023

3. Shallal Report from Jo Willis.

Sometimes the smallest ideas become the largest!

Well that seems to have been the case with our processional puppets for Mr and Mrs Passmore Edwards who became Shallal Dance Theatres main way to share his legacy throughout The Bicenntenial Celebration of his birth. Thank you to Dean Evans and Chinks Grylls, I joined them on their team to keep his inspiration known. The puppets were invited to some events and then the invitations and opportunities kept coming in!

As always a varied and wonderful time with unexpected as well as well planned events liberally sprinkled throughout the year.

Shallal Dance Theatre embraced Cornish processions and were out and about, as well as pushing the boundaries of their performance practice at our first long Spontaneous Response performance, all received good feedback. Congratulations to them all!

It was a dream come true to see Janets wrap around beautifully curated exhibition at Grays Wharf. I first met Janet over twenty years ago and she has, then and now, made a lasting impact on many artists practice and lives, seeing her contagious enthusiasm and immersion in her colourful, vibrant work. We made new friends, including The Ladder, Make and Mends, Carefree, composer Matt Thomason and Sing Choir, we performed A Call to Home at the Plen an Gwari, showed the wonderful talents of Zoom Art Connection artists in our SOIL Earthcare exhibition, continued live streaming for Zoe’s opening at Dark Pony Coffee and I could go on and on, I point you to our youtube channel videos and more.

As we struggle with our global crisis, which threatens those who are most vulnerable first, we need to embrace and promote positive change, artists wrote amazing poems and I produced Passmore Podcasts learning and sharing knowledge and perspectives for our times.

As we go forwards we feel that all our work needs be relevant to our times, bringing we hope some joy and inspiration along with it.

Thank you so much to all the team ( everyone involved in any way ), everyone gives of their best, each one is needed, whether people come and never leave or pass through, return, carry on developing more … thank you!

Let’s keep working, dreaming and delivering, art, community and connection.

  1. Report from Colin Curbishley.

Colin Curbishley / Annual Report August 2022-2023

For me this year has been in large part all about the celebration of the life of the great Cornishman Passmore Edwards. I’ve really enjoyed Shallal’s creative journey to find ways of spreading the awareness of his wonderful legacy.

The giant puppets of Mr & Mrs Edwards certainly drew attention wherever they appeared, surviving high winds on their first outing in Redruth on his bicentenary.

They traveled from the farthest reaches of West Penwith across to Falmouth and north to Wadebridge. All the while gathering ideas from the public for our ‘Passing on Passmore’ project with the aspiration of inspiring the creation of a bright future based on the needs of our times. Many of which Jo Willis has been highlighting with the questions to her questions in the wonderful Podcast series now on Shallal Arts Youtube channel.

Thankfully our community groups continue to be funded by the Henry Smith Charity (he was a philanthropist born in London 1549)

6

As well as the four weekly in person sessions, one of which still has a ‘blended’ element on Zoom we have the online Dance & Art Connection group once a week which attracts people from all over Cornwall, the UK and from foreign parts. One of the participants composed a wonderful story called ‘Isabella Mouse’ which inspired others to create artwork to illustrate different characters, elements of the story and a whole book which was turned into an e-zeen.

As part of my evaluation role I’ve had the pleasure of visiting the Shallal Studio to see what people have been creating and was very impressed with the array of artwork. Janet’s exhibition at Gray’s Wharf was amazing to see and interact with as you were able to move all around and in between the huge paintings. Just down the road in Penryn we had the Soil and Earthcare exhibition in the Fish Factory, which consisted of work from across all the Shallal groups. The paintings, illustrations, living sculptures and written word, was skillfully displayed in what is a very small venue.

A few personal highlights have to include the last performance of ‘A Call to Home’ outside in the Plen an Gwari at St Just. As the September sun fell into the west we had come full circle with our year long Ordinalia journey.

Our ventures outdoors come easiest to my mind as standout events, ‘Landfall’ in conjunction with the Sing community choir in Gyllyngdune Gardens, Falmouth was a very enjoyable evening and something I hope we can repeat next year.

My appreciation and gratitude goes to everyone who gives their valuable time, energy and resources that makes Shallal such a unique and amazing ‘Celebration of Ability, Diversity and Community’. Long may it continue to thrive and deeply touch many more people's lives.

5. Shallal Studios by Lou Brett & Phoebe Barnicoat

Shallal Studio annual report 2022-23

one-year Underworld project. An accessible audio-visual treat, its virtual pages are crammed with poems, drawings, videos and colour, with sounds and images appearing as you scroll.

Pages from the Underworld ebook 2023

September also saw the launch of our new two-year Knitted Together project; a dream come true for some artists who’ve always wanted to focus on textiles and a big adventure for all of us. Knitted Together was a chance to research sustainable practice; to see how far we could go and how much fun we could have.

Over the year we were lucky enough to be joined in the studio by 12 artists and makers who helped us learn things like weaving, natural dyeing, felting, giant French knitting and sculptural builds with recycled materials. Weaving and making bead jewellery with seaweed is a good example of how we thought about the whole life-cycle of a product from its production and use through to throwing it away. With seaweed, all the life-cycle steps are sustainable and the waste goes on the compost. Lots of our artists really loved these tactile and absorbing processes and have continued to involved them in their art practice beyond the project. The term included research workshops at Back Lane West to open out our research and play and connect with other Shallal artists.

In February 2023, we put on our second Grays Wharf exhibition ‘Rise and Fall’; a debut solo show and residency for artist Janet Holland. Janet’s work was accompanied by a sound piece for Deaf and hearing audiences by artist Amy Lawrence in response to a collaboration with Janet and there was a video by Lou Brett documenting the collaboration process.

Audience at Janet Holland’s Rise and Fall Exhibition at Grays Wharf 2023

We decided with our artists to celebrate the results of our Knitted Together research and project work with a 3-day festival at Back Lane West in March 2023. Visitors came to see the artwork and took part in drop-in workshops to try some of the making processes that we’d enjoyed the most.

In the Spring and Summer terms we were lucky enough to work with a number of groups of young people. We ran outreach groups at Curnow SEN secondary school with students aged 16-18 and worked with a group of care-experienced young people in partnership with Carefree. Over 10 weeks the young people

9

got to know each other and us and worked in 10 different creative mediums. We supported them to put on an exhibition at Krowji’s new Contemporary Art Space for their friends and Carefree staff, which they curated and hosted themselves.

We also launched phase two of our Knitted Together project; a collaborative zine about our community spaces and what we need from them in the future. We worked with the wonderful Redruth Press, running screen-print poster workshops with Shallal groups and also in the community including a series of 4 outreach workshops at IntoBodmin. The zine project was part of Shallal’s year of celebrations around the bicentenary of John Passmore Edwards who gave us many of our community spaces in Cornwall.

Zine consultation and participation at Redruth Market Summer 2023

Knitted Together Year One engaged 70 people in accessible creative activities, including 37 young people and 375 people visited our in-person exhibitions. Knitted Together continues into 2024 with the publication of our zine, exhibitions and a fantastic fashion show finale. Our funders were: Ashley Family Foundation, Postcode Local Trust, David Family Foundation, Arts Council England, The National Lottery Heritage Fund and The Henry Smith Charity.

6. Sketchbooks by Janice Schneider

It was wonderful to relaunch the Shallal sketchbook project and explore new ways for outreach into the community. A community hub at Perranporth Newquay was the base and proved very successful. Running the sessions in a community hub/food kitchen, although challenging at times, allowed it to be very assessable to participants. The session was also surrounded by partners for signposting to other services if needed.

I think the feedback says it all…. participant feedback from the Shallal Art Sketchbook sessions which ran in Perranporth Hub in June and July 2023:

“Really enjoyed doing art with like-minded people” “Excellent Facilitator” “Helpful and encouraging”

“Showing new and different techniques for us to experiment with”. “Relaxed approach and relaxed environment” “Reigniting my interest in the doing art.” “Inspiring and interesting”

“Less stressed, and more able to overcome by depression”. “Excited to be able to come and learn new art ideas”. “I feel less anxious, doing my sketchbook in the day”.

“I have become more focussed and positive.” “Connecting to like-minded people, reconnecting to my artwork.”

“A renewed love of creating and meeting new friends.”

“Shallal Arts were absolutely brilliant at running creative sessions at Perranporth Community Hub. Their Shallal Sketchbooks workshops seemed to engage everyone who took part in them, with participants excited to come back week after week to create another page in their book. Each sketchbook was so different and personal to each participant. It was a joy to work with Shallal and we would definitely recommend their Sketchbook sessions to anyone looking to do something inspiring and creative, or to anyone working with people who need a boost to their wellbeing, confidence or self-esteem.” Ellen Moule, Imagine If – Cornish Network Coordinator.

Going forward we hope to explore other venues and hubs. A really unique project.

7. Out There Liskeard by Lois Taylor and Janice Schneider

Changing the space – Using a long piece of fabric, masking tape or chairs, to create new spaces to move in and moving with it

Working outside - We take the opportunity where possible to go into the grounds of Liskerrett and create work out there in response to the natural environment. This time we particularly enjoyed responding to the movement that the breeze made in the clouds, grass and leaves.

Nicky Harwood

A member of our group is also an artist and we have been lucky enough to be able to install her artwork in the session and move within it. This is also really helpful for her own research and gives us some current contemporary art that is completely different to be inspired by.

Development

There are many small triumphs and crossing of thresholds in a really positive way, here are a few: We have been pleased that one member of the group is getting more physical engaged, picking up on the This year has been important for consolidating the group after the fear and knock on effect of Covid, ensuring people feel safe in the dance space and comfortable moving together. It has been important to ensure the group feel their ideas and input is key to the way we develop and this is supported through our regular gathering of ideas from the group and also requests for music or key tasks.

12

Ideas gathering

The group share ideas about things they would like to explore in the sessions, this can be imagery, feelings, props, music or anything, here are a few that we explored:

Whale song - We did some wonderful work with whale sound, exploring the space with a sense of being submerged, moving round each other and feeling powerful. This then expanded into thoughts around coral reefs and the way creatures move within them.

Shadow play and Dark and Light - We also made great use of the way the sun creates wonderful light for us to do shadow work with. Some of this work was filmed and photographed to share later. We changed the lighting in the room, imagined the creatures of the night, then the emerging dawn.

Roots - Moving from the floor, connecting, creating strong anchors. Movements of others and trying them, also one who was very reserved post Covid has begun to relax and connect with others more and one has been increasingly confident to articulate her requests for music.

Sharing

Our group enjoy sharing and this year we invited Continuum dance group to join one of our sessions. They are a creative dance group in Lostwithiel and we had a lot of fun doing our improvisation work together then showing each other a little bit of our own work. We also ran an open session for friends and family, showing some of our dance ideas and then sharing some of the film and photographs we have taken over the year.

Sharing work is very affirming for the group being seen and valued for their amazing skills.

8. Charitable Objects (what Shallal is here to do):

Promote, maintain, improve and advance education and to preserve and protect health particularly by providing access to and involvement in the performing arts including the arts of dance, theatre, music, visual arts, film, costume, photography, sculpture, writing and theatre technical skills by a wide range of the community, especially those who need a supportive environment.

9. Shallal aims to:

• To challenge low cultural opportunities for and expectations of people with a range of disadvantages and disabilities wherever we encounter them.

Shallal means something different to everyone involved. This year we have asked all the people in Shallal to tell us what it means to them. It is important Next year we will make sure that members have their say about what is important to them and we will publish their ideas as part of our aims and values. The aims of Shallal should always be read alongside these views.

14. Contribution made by volunteers

Voluntary community-based effort is intrinsic to the way Shallal works and we envisage building on this. By supporting the development of members’ capacity through skills development and training opportunities and events, individuals have been empowered to take on workshop facilitator roles and greater administrative and governance control of the charity.

Throughout the organisation, including the main dance company, in administration, governance and communication, service users are encouraged and enabled to play a full part as volunteers alongside artists and allied professionals. This helps to maximise the impact of the paid staff and facilitators, which in turn enables the organisation to maximise the impact of funding.

It is difficult to include the full extent of time input by volunteers, but the voluntary in-kind contribution is substantial

15. Financial Review

We were successful in securing £222,380 in 2021/2022. In 2022/2023 we secured £234,876. Our expenditure during the 2022/2023 year was £261,072 (2021/22 £240,620). This expenditure is the highest ever total for Shallal. This results in a reduction of funding carried funded forward from £78,105 in 2021/2022 to £51,909 in 2022/2023. This is the result of an increased range of activities in terms of both the range and locality of activities that are noted in the Chair’s report.

We thank our donors for their funding which is used to make a positive difference for our members and participants at the same time as maintaining Shallal’s exemplary pursuit of artistic excellence. In the last Annual Report, we noted our aim to achieve NPO status as a means of ensuring sustainable core funding for Shallal. Unfortunately, we were not successful in that bid (although we did receive Arts Council funding from May 2023 which contributed to developing our activities and governance for the 22/23 year). Our long term position remains something we need to continue to work on to secure core funding. The healthy level of income brings with it the need to continue to build our financial oversight and associated processes and trustees have begun to receive more detailed reporting. This work needs to continue to develop in future years.

Shallal Independent Examiner's Report

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 August 2023 which are set out on pages 18 to 30.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”). The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the 2011 Act and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: o to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and section 130 of the 2011 Act; and

o to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met;

2) or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
