Dēmos is a collaboration between choreographer Liz Roche and composer David Coonan with a cast of 9 dancers and 4 musicians.
Liz Roche and composer David Coonan have begun a collaboration to create a major new work for orchestra and dancers. It's about people gathering together, and the 'group' as a conduit for the personal; a communal exploration of small singular details.
Having met in 2016, choreographer Liz Roche and composer David Coonan began a creative dialogue born out of a mutual admiration for each other's work, and an initial idea grew to create a major new work for orchestra and dancers. Given the challenges of such an ambitious project, an approach emerged to create two outputs; first, a chamber ensemble composition; and second, an enlarged version for chamber orchestra.
The commissioning of music alongside contemporary dance has always been a core aspect of Liz Roche Company's creative ethos. Composer David Coonan has written for international ensembles including the London Symphony Orchestra, the RTE National Symphony Orchestra and the BBC Symphony Orchestra among others.

Dēmos is made possible by an Arts Council Music Commission Award.
