Echo Echo Festival of Dance and Movement - Open Call Programme

Echo Echo Dance Theatre Company hosts an annual Festival of Dance and Movement each year since 2013. An important element of the Festival has been the Open Call Programme which has taken place five times from 2014-18 inclusive and a commissioning open call in 2021.

As part of the Festival we invite proposals from artists to submit work that might be shown as part of the Festival Short Works mixed performance programme.

In each previous edition we have had a wonderful mix of work in our open call evenings. This has ranged from solos to sextets, from minimalist to highly theatrical, from improvisation scores to highly detailed set work, and from pieces of less than 5 minutes to pieces that have stretched our 15 minute limit a little. We are always open to the idea that artists whose work has been shown in the open call may be invited back to Echo Echo for longer residencies and/or to perform a full programme at a later festival.
