Have a look at this slideshow by David McClelland Photography to see some beautiful images from Echo Echo's improvised performance night last Wednesday 20th January.
It was a fantastic ensemble performance with very special guests from Moscow, Andjela Dony, Masha, and Tonya, and Echo Echo ensemble Steve, Ayesha, Emily, Ellen, Bridget, Zoe, Esther and Carlos. Lorna and Joleen from the gifted Henry Girls played an inspirational live music score.
Next performances at Echo Echo Dance Studio are the Sunday Session on Sunday 7th February at 7pm, and a very special improvised performance with special guest and friend Shahar Dor and Echo Echo Artistic Director Steve Batts on Sunday 21st February at 6pm.

Spring events and classes at Echo Echo
Echo Echo’s programme of events for Spring 2010 is now online and we are taking bookings for all events and classes. Feel free to contact us by email or by telephone on 028 71342266 if you want to know more. As you can see from the listings page, this is Echo Echo’s busiest year yet!
For the first time in 2010, Echo Echo has an ongoing performance programme with regular performance nights, monthly Sunday Sessions, the return of Undercurrent (and the blue monsters!) in March, and a mini-tour of Steve Batts’ acclaimed Ripple Affect in May.
The company is delighted to have more dancers coming through now with Kelly Quigley, Bridget Madden and Zoë Ramsay all working as part of the company ensemble delivering a range of dance performance and education projects alongside Steve, Ursula, Ayesha and Siobhan.
Echo Echo weekly dance classes recommence in the last week of January with Dance & Movement for Children on Tuesdays from 26th January, Daring Feet Youth Dance on Wednesdays from 27th January, and Dancing Together adult dance classes with Ayesha Mailey on Wednesday evenings from 27th January.
If you can’t wait to start dancing again until then, there are only a limited number of places left on our first weekend workshop of the new year, Contact Improvisation Weekend Workshop, on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th January.
The workshop will be led by special guest from Russia, Andjela Dony. Andjela is founder and leader of the Moscow Contact Festival and a close collaborator of Echo Echo’s Artistic Director, Steve Batts. During her stay in Derry, Andjela will work intensively with the company – no fewer than 18 dance artists, graduates and trainees, taking part in a fortnight of movement workshops and artistic exchange at the Echo Echo Dance Studio.
The event will culminate in a special Performance Evening at Echo Echo Dance Studio on Wednesday 20th January at 8pm. Everyone is welcome to attend and entry is only £3.
Monthly performance event, the Sunday Session, returns at its usual slot on the first Sunday of February with a kaleidoscope of creativity in movement, music, comedy and dance from regulars including Steve Batts, James King, Ellen Factor and many others. If you would like to perform or try out some new work, contact us in advance. The event is open to the public, 7pm, Sunday 7th February.
For total newbies and experienced movers alike, or if you can’t commit to a regular class for adults, teenagers or children, then come and take part in the next Dance Picnic on Saturday 7th February from 1.30pm-4.30pm. All ages and experience levels are welcome to this very popular and creative cross-generational event.
In February we are delighted to welcome Leilani Weis back to Derry for an Authentic Tango Weekend Workshop on Valentine’s Weekend. Feedback on all of Leilani’s previous sold-out classes has been fantastic, so book early for this one, folks!
With many more special guests and amazing projects lined up for 2010 already, it’s shaping up to be a fantastic year for dance and movement in the North West. We do hope you can join us!
