OMPANY
REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMirrEE
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
l am pleased to report on anoiher generally successful year for Echo Echo Dance Theatre Company in 2022123.
Aftar two incredibly challenging years for society as a whole, lockdovm restrictions were eased through 2022 and
Echo Echo's publlc programme of events began to fill up again. The first half of 2022123 was inevitably a slightly
slower period as artists began working together on new projects and audlences lentallvely returned to indoors
activities. However as the year progressed Echo Echo's programme has included and supported some wonderful
artists and projects including local, regional and natSonal programmes as well as international projecis in Sweden
and South Africa - as you can read below.
Generous thanks to outgolng dlrector Mandy Blinco after four years of support to the company and very warm
welcome to new dlrectors Clara Bradley, Gail Mahon, Frank Rafferty and past Echo Echo Chair Tina Mccauley who
we are dellghted to have involved again. My gratitude to each of you for your encouragemenl, tlme and support.
To the Echo Echo staff and ensemble - Stevg Batts, Allbe Belme, Barry Davls. Ayesha Mailey, Anna Nolan, Kelly
Quigley, Zoe Ramsey and Tonya Sheina - you contlnue to work wholeheartedly and with great goodwill and
dedication to the company during what have been extremely trying tlmes for the arts sector. Sustained underfunding
of the arts in Northern Ireland, compared to our neighbours in the south and over the water, means that many new
work projects, In partlcular. don't get past early siages of development or require huge voluntary commitments. On
behalf of the Board I would like to congratulale you for the quallty of wort< produced and your contlnued commitment
10 Ihe company.
Without the contlnued support of our principal funder Arts Councll Nl and local authorlty Derry Clty and Strabane
Districl Council, It would be impossible for Echo Echo to contlnue In Its current form as a produclng company,
Internatlonal festival and multl-arts Venue - our thanks for your contlnued support. Vital core and proje¢1 support
from the Irish government through the Departmenl for Tourism Arts and Cullure, and private foundations includiro
the Foyle Foundation and the Garfleld Weston Foundation in 2022123 are oratefully acknowledged.
Finally, our thanks to those who participale in Echo Echo classes, courses or projects and all who attend the
company's productlons. The artists really appreciate your valuable support and feedback on their creative process.
We look forward to your continued involvement in the coming year.
