Music and Dance Special

Pascal Marzan & Jo Dyer

Currently living in London, Pascal Marzan performs on a 10 string microtonal guitar.

After studying classical guitar – mainly devoted to the twentieth century repertoire – and teaching guitar in several music schools in Budapest, Hungary and France, Pascal has dedicated himself to free improvisation and the exploration of microtonal tunings of his instrument. His playing has been influenced by his interest in the folk musics of Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa.

Petra Haller & Paul Jolly

Paul Jolly is a saxophonist, clarinettist and flutist working within the fields of contemporary improvised since 1969, when he joined the iconic People Band with whom he still performs.

David Leahy

Double bassist, David Leahy has been an active member of the free improvisation scene ever since his arrival from New Zealand in 1998. He is also an improvising dancer and works at Trinity Laban as a lecturer to both music and dance students. He is particularly interested in spatialized performance practices and has explored and performed alternative approaches to performance with a wide array of improvisers and with larger groups such as; LIO, Oxford Improvisers, the Free Range Orchestra (Canterbury), the Wuppertal improvisers, and Orquesta Foco (Madrid).
