Echo Modern Dance Collective is back for another year of dance film festivities! After having to cancel our live show in 2020, we pivoted to pandemic-safe artmaking and founded Reverb. We were surprised at how fulfilling and community-driven the event turned out to be, despite being virtual. The limitations of the pandemic spurred creativity in us that we couldn't have anticipated, so much so that we just don't want to stop. So here were are— beyond excited about an event that has now become annual! Reverb is a compilation of our creative reverberations emerging from the pandemic, that has now taken a whole life of its own.
We would love to have you join us again on YouTube Premiere for a one-time only viewing of the film festival. There will be two nights with two different shows, held on June 21st and 22nd at 7pm CST. Buying a ticket gets you access to both nights!
A few days prior to the event, you will be emailed two YouTube Premiere links, one for each night.
Follow us on Instagram (@echomoderndance) for sneak peaks of the festival.
