Hall for Cornwall runs a variety of community outreach and artistic performance programmes. Kernow Voice was a Hall for Cornwall project funded by the Community Education and Participatory Arts Department and offered the oppurtunity for children aged 9-14 to participate in singing and voice workshops at the hall.
Cornwall Youth Music Action Zone (CYMAZ) was a registered charity which provided extra cirricular music workshops for young people who wouldn’t otherwise have access to such initiatives. CYMAZ used trained community musicians to work with disengaged and disaffected young people up to the age of 19. Hall for Cornwall would regularly play host to these workshops and conduct them in collaboration with CYMAZ.
Kernow Bys Vyken means Cornwall Forever. In the early 2000s, an initiative launced across Cornwall to celebrate the story and spirit of the county and to raise awareness of its history. As one of many participating institutions, Hall for Cornwall launced A Festival of Community Arts which commissioned a series of performances and events which responded to this agenda.
City Hall is a grade II listed building that was completed in 1846. Built to house the headquarters of the local council, the north end of the complex accommodated the municipal buildings, which included a courtroom and a council chamber, while the south end accommodated a market hall. In the early 20th century, civic leaders decided to make the market hall available for public use. In 1907, it operated as a skating rink and then as a cinema in 1912. In 1925, the market hall was remodelled as a theatre with a stage after a fire had gutted the building in 1914.

This photograph captures the lighting control gantry where the backstage crew controlled the stage lighting for productions and performances at City Hall.
The person on the balcony level is plugging the stage lights into a small handful of dimmers – we now have 240 channels of dimming for our stage lighting, allowing us to operate on a much bigger scale!
The T.A.O.D.S had their own backstage crew as well as actors, producers and musical directors. This photograph captures the props area at City Hall where the T.A.O.D.S backstage crew would store the props for their productions.
