Collaborative work at the Royal Academy of Art, the Hague led by Andrea Bozic and Julia Willms. Presented a multi-media performance installation with artists Þórir Freyr Höskuldsson, Muireann Nic An Bheatha, Kay Churcher & Mikki Sindhunata.
Wilderness Notes will feature premieres of 3 new films by Experimental Film Society filmmakers Rouzbeh Rashidi, Maximilian Le Cain and Vicky Langan, and Atoosa PourHosseini, created in tandem with new compositions by young Irish composers Barry O'Halpin, Seán Ó Dálaigh, and Robert Coleman which will be performed live by the Kirkos Ensemble.
Wilderness Notes is presented by Kirkos Ensemble and the Experimental Film Society, with support from Ensemble Music and Filmbase, and is funded by Arts Council Ireland.
This performance explores dance as a visceral dialogue of the senses, extending its performance beyond visual form, making its experience inclusive and unique to each participant.
Running Blind is an interactive performance. Audience participants will come into physical contact with performers.
This work questions the filters through which we experience our world – how do we perceive, interpret and interact with our environment and each other? What is it to see differently and what do we have to gain?

The latest instalment of our Kirkoskammer chamber music series, The Horn ж with Hannah Miller, takes place on Tuesday April 11th, at Bewleys Cafe Theatre, Powerscourt Townhouse Centre, Dublin.
Kirkos horn player Hannah Miller will present a programme of 20th and 21st-century works for solo horn that exploit the instrument’s unique colour and expressive range, including staples of the horn repertoire from our recurring inspiration Olivier Messiaen and famed Finnish conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen, along with new pieces from Kirkos co-directors Robert Coleman and Sebastian Adams, and other lesser-known gems.
