Echo Echo Dance Theatre Company

Echo Echo Dance Theatre Company is a company full of love and wonders. Their beautiful home on the city walls of Derry is brimming of a warm, welcoming, open, curious and welcoming feeling, which can also be described about each and every one of the wonderful souls that make up the company- it's thanks to them their home feels like a home open to everyone. I love their artistic approach, the intelligens and artdisposition and their unique human outlook. And how they support artists. This is a place you want to be at and people you want to share time with, be that as an audience, participant or collaborator. Echo Echo are the best!

The perfect pace and space for my little ones who did the toddler dance classes. It's classes like these that make me happy to live in Derry!

The Echo Echo studios and people working within have been so supportive of my work since the moment I arrived in 2015 to this date. I always leave feeling inspired, supported and warm at heart. Please keep doing what you’re doing. It is such an important part of Derry. With gratitude and hope to see you all again soon, Maria Svensson

Beautiful people who create opportunities for all to express themselves and explore through movement.

Every time I go I learn something and feel better than when I went in in every way!

Besides its great artistic work Echo Echo Dance Theatre Company is also a warm and friendly space with classes and activities for all ages. Stephen Batts, the artistic director of the company, creates connections with the international dance community through workshops, artistic residencies and the yearly performance festival and also with local community through movement classes, indoor and site specific performances. The dance practice of the company, Poetic Movement, developed by Stephen Batts is a great contribution to many professionals in the performative arts and inspiration for international dancers that have worked and collaborated with S. Batts along the years. It's my favourite dance place and I warmly recommend it!

Genuinely world class contemporary dance performance space and venue for all sorts of movement based activities - performances are invariably excellent and a nice place to call in if you are into your contemporary arts - the folks there are really interesting and a great stop off if you are into your creative arts
