Alice Presencer and Jane Hackett
Alice and Jane have worked collaboratively since 2019, when they received a commission from the Irish contemporary music group Kirkos Ensemble to create a performance piece titled 'The Upper Hand’. The work was performed in the early months of 2020 and marked the beginning of their collaboration, merging artforms and influences from Ireland, Denmark and Austria. Together, they focus on the portraying social themes through the cyclical relationship between sound and movement.

Kirkos ensemble has since commissioned the duo to make an interdisciplinary, interactive work which will take the audience on a journey through four spatial installations of “The Internal Series” and a live performance, in Dublin 2023.
