TRILATERAL Dance Artists Exchange is a project of Philadelphia Dance Projects (PDP) in partnership with the Műhely Alapítvány/Workshop Foundation in Budapest, Hungary and BodyMeld in Sofia, Bulgaria. It is made possible with support from the Trust For Mutual Understanding. 

Artists will have been in residencies in all three cities together this year. Through their stay in each other’s city they experience the many facets of dance-making, its opportunities/challenges and its aesthetic along with the social and political concerns that may surface in creative work or in daily life.

This Fall, Philadelphia is the culminating residency. 

Artists will present a sample of their work in a free showing….

TAMARA ZSÓFIA VADAS from Budapest, SILVIA CHERNEVA from Sofia and CHRISTINA GESUALDI from Philadelphia will
be joined by 2015 Exchange Artist, GABRIELLE REVLOCK from Philadelphia. Peer artists demonstrate their
personal creative styles, subtle, elusive, direct and astute…

Tamara Zsófia Vadas, Budapest-based dance maker, performer, choreographer and educator, has participated at the iDANS Festival in Istanbul and Impulstanz Festival in Vienna among many other venues and festivals. She is a recipient of numerous awards including grants from the Ministry of Human Resources in Hungary.

Silvia Cherneva says she “tries to maintain an air of mystery by combining different forms and genres so that none of them reveal what her real skills are.” She has been a co-organizer, teacher and artist at the award-winning Focus: Screendance programme, has co-organized and performed as part of PIC – Platform for Improvisation and Composition, has been co-running the cultural program at Hod Movement Laboratory. She recently made her choreographic stage debut premiering “Critical Mass” at Toplocentrala Center for Contemporary Arts in Sofia.

She has danced in projects of Annie Wilson, Zornitsa Stoyanova, Megan Bridge, Curt Haworth, and Nicole Bindler. Christina has shared her own dance work in Philadelphia as well as Portland, Detroit, Asheville and Poznan, Poland. She says, “All into the process soup goes: attending to sensation, gentleness, listening, failing/flailing, queering, patience, and indirectness.”

Gabrielle Revlock is a choreographer, performer, improviser, and somatics educator, whose work is
influenced by postmodern dance, experimental theater, conceptual art and compassionate
communication. She is a New York City Bessie Award-winning choreographer. Internationally, she
has performed in Japan, Netherlands, Singapore, Hungary, Russia and India. As a dancer she has
performed for brilliant artists including Susan Rethorst, Lucinda Childs, Jane Comfort, and Susan
