Gaga Workshop
Automatic Arts is presenting a three day Gaga workshop, Wednesday August 2 - 4 from 10 am - 1:15 pm at The Performance Garage in Philadelphia, PA. The workshop is for professional and dancers 16 or older. The day will consist of a Gaga class followed by repertoire by Ohad Naharin. The workshop is being taught by Or Meir Schraiber from Batsheva Dance Company.
Gaga is a movement language which Ohad Naharin developed over the course of many years and which is applied in daily practice and exercises by the Batsheva Dance Company members. The language of Gaga originated from the belief in the healing, dynamic, ever-changing power of movement.
Gaga is a new way of gaining knowledge and self-awareness through your body. Gaga provides a framework for discovering and strengthening your body and adding flexibility, stamina, and agility while lightening the senses and imagination. Gaga raises awareness of physical weaknesses, awakens numb areas, exposes physical fixations, and offers ways for their elimination. The work improves instinctive movement and connects conscious and unconscious movement, and it allows for an experience of freedom and pleasure in a simple way, in a pleasant space, in comfortable clothes, accompanied by music, each person with himself and others.
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. Ohad Naharin
Ohad Naharin has been hailed as one of the worlds preeminent contemporary choreographers.
