Gaga is a movement language. Ohad Naharin, referred to as “Mr. Gaga” (which is also the title of a movie portrait about him), longstanding director of Tel Aviv-based Batsheva Dance Company, developed this language. Batsheva dancers practice Gaga on a daily basis. Gaga not only strengthens one’s awareness for movement but also enhances endurance, power, mobility and flexibility. Instinctive movements will be intensified and joined with conscious and unconscious gestures. Additionally, Gaga provides an opportunity to allow us to listen to our bodies, to be generous towards others and to deepen the inward gaze. Well-being and pleasure are always in focus. This movement language is a valuable asset for both professional dancers as well as for participants without prior dance experience.
