Ripple Affect (2009)
Ripple Affect
Premiered on Monday 16th March 2009 in The Waterside Theatre, Derry-Londonderry
What do you do after you have been hugged, or hugged someone?
What resonates in your body and memory and where does that lead you?
Do you dance together? In unison? Closely? With a leader or as equals?
Steve Batts, Co-Artistic Director of Echo Echo Dance Theatre Company used these questions as a starting point to devise, direct and choreograph a new work for 5 exceptionally expressive, technically gifted, and creative female dancers.
8 women. A warm, inviting blend of duets, solos and group dances, vocal harmony and rich instrumentation. Movement that makes sense. Beauty on a human scale.
