Gaga/Naharin Movement Workshop
Gaga/Naharin for Professional Dancers
Gaga/Naharin is a movement language developed over the last decade by Ohad Naharin, Batsheva's long-time artistic director, in the Batsheva studios. This expressive and dynamic movement language is used daily by dancers of the Batsheva Dance Company and Batsheva Ensemble as the basis for their distinctive technique. Professional dancers now have the chance to experience the Gaga/Naharin technique during their visit to the Edinburgh International Festival.
Gaga offers a new way to reach a deeper knowledge and understanding of one's self via the body and its movement. Gaga encourages, teaches and cultivates multi dimensional movement, efficiency and texture of movement, the use of explosive power, the connection between pleasure and effort, quickness, clarity of intention, stamina. It enables recognition of one's own movement habits and helps to acquire new ones.
Ultimately, Gaga empowers the experiences of pleasure, stillness, positivism, and happiness. The Gaga movement language is a tool that can be utilized by dancers and non-dancers alike. This workshop is for professional dancers.
