'my little Force explodes' at New Music Dublin

Following on from the success of the Secret Music Trail, presented at 2018’s New Music Dublin Defrosted, Ergodos presents Morning Rituals, a programme of short performances curated for New Music Dublin 2019. Taking place in characterful spaces in and around the NCH on the morning of Sunday 3 March, these performances are about stepping back, focussing in and transcending.

Morning Rituals brings together performances and new work by seven individual and clear-voiced artists from around the world: cellist Kate Ellis, Australian-Dutch composer Kate Moore, Egyptian musician Nadah El Shazly, Australian flautist Lina Andonovska, vocalist Michelle O’Rourke, composer Anna Murray, and
musician-filmmaker Laura Sheeran.

my little Force explodes is a ritual of letter-opening, conversation, breath, communication and message, based on the ‘envelope writings’ of Emily Dickinson. Written for Michelle O’Rourke and Lina Andonovska.
