New production Ripple Affect will tour in March
Watch and feel the all-female Ripple Affect...
Echo Echo Dance Theatre Company has an exciting all-female production to offer audiences this March called Ripple Affect.
Arising from questions such as: "What do you do after you have been hugged? What resonates in your body and memory and where does that lead you?"
Steve Batts, co-artistic director of Echo Echo has devised, directed and choreographed a full-length dance piece addressing the physical memory. Audiences will see how the actions, feelings and choices of one person can affect others around them.
Steve is an internationally renowned dancer, director, choreographer and teacher. He has enlisted the all female cast in the shape of five professional dancers and three musicians to perform.
He describes the dancers as "exceptionally expressive, technically gifted, and creative" adding that the live musicians The Henry Girls are "remarkable".
The five dancers will move to the beautiful tones of The Henry Girls from Donegal. This music group is no stranger to success with two acclaimed albums, regular performances throughout Ireland and perhaps memorably for audiences, their appearance on RTE's You're a Star programme in 2005.
Using the all female cast, director Steve will create a warm and inviting blend of duets, solos and group dances with vocal harmony and rich instrumentation.
Director Steve promises: " Ripple Affect will be movement that makes sense and beauty on a human scale."
Echo Echo is considered to be Northern Ireland's leading contemporary dance company and it is hoping to follow on from the successful 2007 tour of Consequences directed by Wolfgang Hoffmann.
The Belfast News Letter said the production was: "Bathed in the glow of a mesmerising dream-logic...Wonderfully right" whilst The Irish Times called it: "Superbly accomplished".
The 2009 tour of Ripple Affect will include dates in Derry, Belfast, Letterkenny, Sligo and Dublin.

Ripple Affect is supported by The Arts Council of Northern Ireland National Lottery Fund.
