Echo Echo Festival of Dance and Movement Presents:

THE SHAKES - Simonetta Alessandri

Echo Echo Studios, Hangman's Bastion, Magazine Street, Derry

Date: Friday 9th & Saturday 10th November

Time: 8:00pm

A Question: How do we allow anxiety, shock, angst, the edge and/or conflicted emotions to be expressed? As individuals and collectively?

The Shakes is a performance reply. It is a site-responsive piece for five dancers and a live musician/composer, with text as layer in a sound score. Its tone is immersive, abject and yet, at times, absurd. It is like bringing a tapestry to physicalized life.

The Shakes has been brought to fruition as part of this year’s Festival Residency Programme. The piece has been in development for a year. For the first week of the festival Italian choreographer Simonetta Alessandri, and her company of 5 women, were invited to work on finishing it at Echo Echo Studios. Light, sound and staging has been created in collaboration with Echo Echo Technical Manager Barry Davis.

Tickets
Cost: £10 and £8 concession
