Gaga/people classes are open to people ages 16+, regardless of their background in dance or movement. No previous dance experience is needed. Because we inspire each other a lot during the Gaga classes also well dance experienced people up to professional dancers are very welcome to the Gaga/people classes!

Gaga/dancers is open to professional dancers and dance students, as well as to well dance experienced people. Gaga/dancers classes are built on the same principles as Gaga/people classes but also employ the specific vocabulary and skills that are part and parcel of a dancer’s knowledge.

Ohad Naharins‘ short explanation of what we do in a Gaga-Class:

“We become more aware of our form. We connect to the sense of the endlessness of possibilities. We explore multi-dimensional movement; we enjoy the burning sensation in our muscles, we are ready to snap, we are aware of our explosive power and sometimes we use it. We change our movement habits by finding new ones. We go beyond our familiar limits. We can be calm and alert at once.”

 

DEEP SENSORY BODY AWAKENING with TANJA SABAN

Gaga, phrase work and somatic sequencing

Living inside a body is extraordinary; dancing with an awakened sensory body is magic.

In  gaga we explore how we move from sensations and how our sensations can  be an engine for our movement. We connect to pleasure and playfulness  while we are multitasking, challenging our body and mind to become  available. The deeper we dive into our sensory body, the more  possibilities are opening up. Becoming aware of and differentiating  sensations in the many layers of our body creates room for an organic  reorganization of our movement habits. It connects us to flow, ease and  our passion to move. We enrich our sensitivity and refine our ability to  express, in the small and big gestures.

Fluid identities - phrase work (Saturday)

A  choreographed sequence is the starting point and our creative  restraint. Finding precision and defining the identity of a phrase- its  spatial structure, textures, dynamics and rhythms- feeds into our  movement vocabulary and helps us reflect on how we are using the  elements of the dance in our body.

The next stage  is about interpretation and deconstruction. We use each others movement,  interpreting the interpretation and deconstruct the movement material  until new choreographic identities emerge.

Somatic sequencing (Sunday)

The  quality of our perception determines the quality of our movement. We  are deep diving into an exploration of our anatomy and internal  landscapes, reawakening our sensory body. Through movement, imagery and  touch we explore different layers of tissues and their respective  function. Fine tuning and differentiating our sensory awareness lets the  body reorganize movement patterns and opens up a new range of  possibilities in our bodies. We research where and how movement is  initiated, how it sequences through the body and orchestrates rhythms  and textures. Deep listening into our microcosm enriches our perception  and refines our ability to articulate, in the small and big gestures
