Details about GAGA

GAGA/DANCERS classes are open to professional dancers or advanced dance students (ages 16+). These classes are taught by dancers who have worked closely with Ohad Naharin. GAGA/DANCERS classes employ the specific vocabulary and skills that are part and parcel of a dancer’s knowledge.

The class works with the layering of familiar movements with GAGA and present dancers with fresh challenges, and throughout the class teachers prompt the dancers to visit more unfamiliar places. GAGA deepens the dancers awareness of physical sensations and enriches their movement quality with a wide range of textures.

"We are moving without any stop, all together, to ride on ongoing movement that is moving inside our bodies constantly without using mirrors."

Ohad Naharin about GAGA:

"We explore multi dimensional movement, we enjoy the burning sensation in our muscles, we are ready to snap, we are aware of what we are made of, we are aware of our explosive power and some times we use it. We change our movement habits by finding new ones, we can be calm and alert at once..."
"We learn to love our sweat, we discover our passion to move and connect it to effort, we discover both the animal in us and the power of our imagination..."

"We learn to appreciate understatement and exaggeration, we discover the difference between joy and pleasure.."
