Gaga, the method of work evolved by Ohad Naharin, originated from faith in healing power of motion. Gaga/dancers enables professional dancers around the world to experience daily training of Batsheva Dance Company ensemble. Gaga/people is convenient for everybody, no matter the age or previous experience.
„With Gaga we set the volume up while listening to our own body. We discover more dimensions of movement to the point of going through sensation of muscle burning – and we enjoy even that. We become conscious of our own explosive energy, using it from time to time. We’re aware of everybody around us in space to figure out that we are not the center of everything. We connect to the world of unlimited possibilities. Replacing old habits by new ones. We are able to be watchful and relaxed at the same time. Becoming present….
In Gaga we connect to the feeling of „having enough time for everything“, especially in moments when we’re moving fast. We’re going to reveal our passion of movement in linking with efforts that it demands. Learning to adore our own sweat. We’re going to discover two things: an animal that we are, and the power of our imagination. Gaga reveals the body weakness, stimulates limp parts of the body, detects hidden blocks and helps us to get rid of them.
Gaga is the instinctive motion training, it enforces relation between conscious and unconscious. Gaga leads us to the enjoyment of pure, uncomplicated freedom and pleasure. In agreeable surroundings, comfortable clothes, with music accompaniment. Everyone for oneself, in connection with others.“ Ohad Naharin
