Gaga, developed by Ohad Naharin, originated from faith in the healing power of motion. Gaga/dancers enables professional dancers around the world to experience daily training of the Batsheva Dance Company ensemble. Gaga/people is convenient for everybody, from 16 years of age, with no previous experience needed.
„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 the sensation of muscle burning – and we enjoy it. 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 with new ones. We can be calm and alert at once.
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 for movement in linking with the efforts that it demands. Learning to enjoy our own sweat. We’re going to discover an animal that we are, and the power of our imagination. Gaga reveals body weakness, stimulates numb parts of the body, detects hidden blocks, and helps us to get rid of them.
Gaga is the instinctive motion training; it enforces the relation between the conscious and the unconscious. Gaga leads us to the enjoyment of pure, uncomplicated freedom and pleasure. In pleasant surroundings, comfortable clothes, with music accompaniment. Everyone for oneself, in connection with others.“ Ohad Naharin
