Pyramid Club is happy to host dancer/choreographer Daisy Sanders and improvising saxophonist Josten Myburgh from Boorloo (Perth),
Josten Myburgh and Daisy Sanders have been collaborating since 2018, including large-scale durational improvisations with ensembles of musicians and dancers. Their duo collaboration is the rawest expression of their shared interest in deep presence in the moment through improvisation, with great comfort in silence and rest, but no fear of reaching more intense emotional registers.
The first set will be Sanders and Myburgh's duo performance. The second set will be an improvised performance including Alistair Fraser on taonga pūoro and Gerard Crewdson on brass instruments.
