Shallal was formed in 1985 by Jo Willis - dance facilitator, Annamarie Murphy - performance, and Diana Morris - voluntary administrator.
It grew from the request of the local Gateway Club to help them create a performance for a review. The talent, response and enthusiasm of everyone involved led to more performance requests and to it becoming a day work experience placement for members and soon local artists asked to join. Anna left to pursue her highly successful career and Diana supported Shallal till it paused in 1998. It restarted in 2001 at the invitation of a local Healthy Living initiative and became a charity in 2005. Although struggling to survive at times with no core funding we are still here and thriving. Thank you to all who have been part of our journey so far.
