Christina Gesualdi and Jesse Kudler
movement and sound
The duo of Christina Gesualdi and Jesse Kudler explores the
inter-dependence of movement and sound, with the boundaries between
dancer and accompanist deliberately troubled; hierarchies between audio
and visual constantly shift as byproducts of either medium become
examined or picked up for elaboration in the other. The duo has been
performing in art galleries, dance spaces, and concert venues since
2018.
Christina Gesualdi is a Philadelphia-based dancer, choreographer,
improviser and teacher. She has danced in projects of Annie Wilson, Dawn
Pratson, Megan Bridge, Curt Haworth, and Nicole Bindler. All into the
process soup: attending to sensation, gentleness, listening,
failing/flailing, queering, patience, indirectness and collaboration.
Christina is a past member of Mascher Space and a community member at
The Art Room Studio. Jesse Kudler is a musician, composer, performer,
and sound artist who plays and works with guitar, electronics, pipe
organ, recordings, synthesizers, radios, tapes, movement, and text. His
work is based in listening, improvisation, and collaboration (with
people, devices, sites, and spaces) to explore ambiguous affects,
perception, time, authorship, intention, agency, and modes and practices
of listening.
