Christine Wodrascka

Christine Wodrascka is a French pianist, composer and improviser born in Aix-en-Provence in 1957. Trained in classical music and musicology, she encountered jazz and began exploring freely improvised music in her twenties. She develops an individual piano technique in which the physical gesture is central to the creation of the sound.

Wodrascka explores the interior strings and resonating body of the piano as well as its keyboard, seeking unconventional articulation, energy and tonal colour. Her work moves through solo concerts and collaborations with other musicians, dancers and performers. She has also taught improvisation and musical practice in Toulouse, encouraging a creative approach that connects form, gesture and listening.
