Paul Briggs & Nani Pacal with Peggy Rubin.
Paul Briggs
Composer and multi-instrumentalist Paul Briggs has been exploring the world of sound and music for as long as he can remember. He has scored music for short films, dance companies in New York, an award-winning Connecticut PBS production and his electronic soundscapes have been performed at New Music Festivals in Europe.
In 1985 he began to explore the world of music improvisation with cellist David Darling and with guitarist T. Fleisher, formed the progressive rock band Cybergarden in NYC. Their most recent recording “In Need of Water” was released in 2025. For 35 years he’s worked alongside principle teaching associate Peggy Rubin in support of Dr. Jean Houston’s transformative work in the field of Human Capacities around the world. Currently in his thirteenth season at OSF on the Green Show crew, he is excited to be sharing this performance with contortionist Nani Pacal and the wonderful Peggy Rubin.
