	Daring Feet is ch-ch-ch-changing!!!!	92 Tage her
	The format of Daring Feet is changing this Autumn! It will still be on every Wednesday but this term it will be an 8 week performance course leading to a performance in The Waterside Theatre in December! Ayesha Mailey will be teaching the classes and helping students create an original dance piece in 8 weeks...so this means members have to commit to the full term. And instead of weekly payments, we are asking for one fee to pay for the full term- only £25 for 8 weeks!! Bargain! You will still get the same quality experience, learn new dance and performance skills such as composition, improvisation and choreography. But this time, your friends and family will be able to see all your hard work at the performance in the theatre on Thursday 3rd December. We would love to see new members come along as some of our wonderful dancers have left for university. If you are interested in joining in, contact info@echoechodance.com or phone the office on +44(0)28 7134 2266. Looking forward to it!! Echo Echo DTC

	Making Moves for 16- 18 year olds!	382 Tage her
	Making Moves: Choose a Direction Are you aged 16 or over? Do you have a passion for performing? Are you already involved in physical theatre, drama or dance? Have you ever thought of a career in the performing arts but are unsure of what to expect? Making Moves could be for you! Echo Echo Dance Theatre Company in partnership with the University of Ulster is offering you the unique opportunity to work intensively with professional dancers to improve your movement skills and performance technique. Whether you wish to pursue dance into Higher Education or develop your skills through experience, Making Moves will open your eyes to the professional process of performers, modelled on the practice of Echo Echo Dance Theatre Company. As the leading contemporary dance company in Northern Ireland, Echo Echo has a strong link with the University of Ulster's Dance degree course at the Magee campus. Both Co-Artistic Directors of the company teach regularly on the course. Therefore as a bonus for completing the Making Moves summer course you will receive accreditation from the University of Ulster's School of Creative Arts. The story so far... The first stage of this course started in November 2008 with 8 free introductory dance sessions in schools across Northern Ireland from Derry to Antrim and Belfast to Strabane. Echo Echo was overwhelmed by the interest from secondary schools. The company hopes to maintain any new links created with them. The introductory sessions lasted approx one hour and 30 minutes and were taught by Echo Echo Co-Artistic Director, Steve Batts and full time ensemble member, Ayesha Mailey.They were supported by Echo Echo's currrent placement students who are semi-professional dancers and dancers in training. The sessions involved warming up exercises, aspects of choreography- how it's created and how to follow it and some more creative elements and improvisation before cooling down to finish. It is hoped that participants enjoyed their experience of dance and movement and will be inspired to pursue it. However, there is no obligation to progress onto the Easter and Summer courses. What's next? Summer course: Monday 3rd - Friday 21st August - 10am to 6pm - Costs £50 There will be a performance on Thursday 20th August in The Waterside Theatre, Derry- Londonderry. The course will take place in the Echo Echo Dance Studio, Waterside Theatre and The Foyle Arts Building at the University of Ulster's Magee Campus. Echo Echo tutors will teach on both Making Moves courses as well as invited artists from Europe in order to provide an exciting and unique opportunity to learn from various talented and creative artists. How to get involved... If you are interested in participating in Making Moves Summer course- you must fill in an ‘expression of interest' form and return it to Echo Echo. The form is very basic, containing your contact details, school information and a paragraph about why you want to participate. You can get help from your teacher/parent if you need to. The Expression of Interest form is designed to help Echo Echo decide on participants should there be more people interested than spaces available on the courses. On the Summer course, preference will be given to those who attended the Easter course. ** Download the Expression of Interest Form from the Echo Echo website www.echoechodance.com ** If you would like to be kept up to date with this project, email info@echoechodance.com to be added to the mailing list! Funding for the Youth Dance Development Course has been provided by the Clore Duffield Foundation through its Clore Performing Arts Awards.
