We do it again dearest curious movers of Århus 🌷🩷
Gaga and Movement Research Workshop
This workshop will consist of Gaga/people classes and Movement research sessions. It is an invitation to dive deeper into your dancing research and open for an even higher volume and larger scope of sensations while moving. There will be space to explore elements from the Gaga language at a different pace, to have a dialogue and to ask questions. The movement research sessions will invite us to dig deeper into our improvisation skills through solo, couple and group tasks. The workshop welcomes all (16 years+), no levels and no prior dance/gaga experience needed.

Sat 8th of November 15:00-18:00
Sun 9th of November 10:00-13:30

About Gaga
Gaga is the movement language developed by Ohad Naharin throughout many years, parallel to his work as a choreographer and the former artistic director of Batsheva Dance Company. Gaga originated from Naharin’s need to communicate with his dancers and his curiosity in the ongoing research of movement.
Gaga classes are predicated on a deep activation of the body and physical sensations. The instructions are deployed to increase awareness of and further amplify sensation, and rather than turning from one prompt to another, information is layered, building into a multisensory, physically challenging
experience. While many instructions are imbued with rich imagery, the research of Gaga is fundamentally physical, insisting on a specific process of embodiment. Inside this shared research and on top of clear forms, the improvisational nature of the exploration enables each participant’s deeply personal connection with Gaga.
Gaga provides a framework for discovering and strengthening the body and adding flexibility, stamina, agility, and skills including coordination and efficiency while stimulating the senses and the imagination.
