Gaga is a technique or movement language developed by Batsheva Dance Companys artistic director Ohad Naharin. Gaga Dancers is a class constructed for dancers and people that dance on a professional or regular basis.
Gaga challenges multi layer tasks. There are a series of words that signify particular ways or qualities to initiate movement and the body parts involved that help us achieve the sensation and joy of that movement.
The class is meant to allow dancers to experience dynamics of movement which stimulates the senses and the imagination as well as establishing a flow throughout the entire body that allows complete fluidity. Focusing on gaining knowledge and self awareness through your body in multi dimensional movement, we shall explore our passion to move, physical effort, virtuosity, musicality, individual expression and improvisation. Using the powerful tool of pleasure and guiding images we encouraging creativity through our imagination and gain awareness, alertness and playfulness.
