Crash Ensemble continue to push boundaries with Postcards, a project that brings together bold new compositions and film. With a reputation for exploring fresh sounds and daring ideas, this event is a striking exploration of humanity’s relationship with the environment, weaving together themes of sustainability and climate action.

Postcards consists of a series of three-minute compositions by an eclectic group of creators: Dani Larkin, Emmelle Wadding, Jenn Kirby, Maeve Kelly, Michael Sullivan, Neil O’Connor and Paul Scully. Each piece explores critical environmental and existential issues, reflecting the urgency of addressing climate change and our impact on the planet.

As part of this project, Crash Ensemble commissioned Filmmaker in Residence Laura Sheeran to create accompanying visuals that beautifully interweave live visual stories with each piece.
