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.<\/p>\n Gaga\/dancers<\/strong>\u00a0is open to professional dancers and dance students.<\/p>\n \u201cGaga challenges multi-layer tasks.<\/p>\n We are aware of the connection between effort and pleasure,\u00a0 we are aware of the distance between our body parts, we are aware of the friction between flesh and bones, we sense the weight of our body parts, yet, our form is not shaped by gravity . . . We are aware of where we hold unnecessary tension, we let go only to bring life and efficient movement to where we let go . . . We are turning on the volume of\u00a0 listening to our body, we appreciate small gestures, we are measuring and playing with the texture of our flesh and skin, we might be silly, we can laugh at ourselves.\u00a0 We connect to the sense of \u201cplenty of time,\u201d especially when we move fast, we learn to love our sweat, we discover our passion to move and connect it to effort, we discover both the animal we are and the power of our imagination.\u00a0 We are \u201cbody builders with a soft spine.\u201d<\/p>\n We learn to appreciate understatement and exaggeration, we become more delicate and we recognize the importance of the flow of energy and information through our body in all directions.\u00a0 We learn to apply our force in an efficient way and we learn to use \u201cother\u201d forces.<\/p>\n We discover the advantage of soft flesh and sensitive hands, we learn to connect to groove even when there is no music.<\/p>\n We are aware of people in the room and we realize that we are not in the center of it all. We become more aware of our form since we never look at ourselves in a mirror; there are no mirrors.\u00a0 We connect to the sense of the endlessness of possibilities.\u00a0 Yielding is constant while we are ready to snap . . .<\/p>\n We explore multi-dimensional movement, we enjoy the burning sensation in our muscles,\u00a0 we are aware of our explosive power and sometimes we use it.\u00a0 We change our movement habits by finding new ones, we can be calm and alert at once.<\/p>\n We become available . . .\u201d<\/p>\n \u2013 Ohad Naharin<\/p>\n Ohad Naharin has been hailed as one of the world\u2019s preeminent contemporary choreographers.\u00a0 As Artistic Director of Batsheva Dance Company since 1990, he has guided the company with an adventurous artistic vision and reinvigorated its repertory with his captivating choreography.\u00a0 His works have also been performed by prominent companies including Nederlands Dans Theater, the Paris Opera Ballet, Les Grand Ballets Canadiens de Montr\u00e9al, Compa\u00f1\u00eda Nacional de Danza (Spain), Cullberg Ballet (Sweden), Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet (New York), and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (New York).\u00a0 Naharin is also the originator of an innovative movement language, Gaga, which has enriched his extraordinary movement invention, revolutionized the company\u2019s training, and emerged as a growing force in the larger field of movement practices for both dancers and non-dancers.<\/p>\n GoPiYoga\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n GoPiYoga Is for you.
