With Canny’s signature mix of traditional and modern sounds driving the dancers, every beat tells a story, blending past and present in a raw, emotional experience.

Get ready for a performance where rhythm lives, tradition breathes, and every moment and movement resonates.

Speaking about REVERB, choreographer Sarah Golding said, “I’m excited to be working with Luail in the creation of REVERB – I’m particularly thrilled to be pairing up with the amazing Lisa Canny, it’s a dream collaboration, and a pleasure to be working with Luail’s company of amazing dancers, along with musicians Laura Doherty and Josh Sampson. The inspiration for REVERB came from a piece that I created for Maiden Voyage Dance in 2024, the work is all about people gathering for the retelling of stories in a joyful way; a celebration of how music and dance connect all of us to past memories”
