Movement of Sound-Irish Tour

June 8, 2011

The countdown to Movement of Sound's Irish Tour begins. With just over one week until the premiere of this music and dance program hits Cork's MidSummer Festival in Triskel, Christchurch on the 14th of June. From there it head's to Belltable Limerick for an evening show on the 15th, followed by the final date on the 19th in Backloft, Dublin.
 
Movement of sound seeks to combine movement and sound in a way that will speak across a number of artistic platforms, attracting fresh and untried audiences and creating new and more complete experiences of movement, sound, movement through sound and sound through movement.
This project will involve 4 artists: Karen Power (composer / live electronics), Mary Nunan (dancer and choreographer), Deirdre O’Leary (clarinet/ bass clarinet) and Kate Ellis (cello).

This project aims at a true collaborative approach to music and dance, right down to the choice of touring venues being mutual arts spaces rather than specific to dance or music performances.  once upon a space, the result of an intensive collaboration between renowned dancer Mary Nunan, composer Karen Power, and two of Ireland’s foremost musicians, Kate Ellis and Deirdre O' Leary. A conversation between dance/movement, space and sound, it headlines a choreographed program of Irish Premieres that explore sound in movement and movement of sound.
 
Movement of sound combines a new collaborative work by Power/Nunan with exciting Irish premiers by international composers; Saariaho, Tiensuu and Hyla.
