GAGA WORKSHOP // By Chen-Wei Lee

19>20/03/2022

Gaga is the movement language developed by Ohad Naharin throughout many years.
The language of Gaga originated from the belief in the healing, dynamic, ever-changing power of movement, Gaga classes are predicated on a deep listening to the body and to physical sensations.

The instructions are deployed to increase awareness of and further amplify sensation, and rather than turning from one prompt to another, information is layered, building into a multi-sensory, physically challenging experience.

Gaga provides a framework for discovering and strengthening the body and adding flexibility, stamina, agility, and skills including coordination and efficiency while stimulating the senses and imagination. The classes offer a workout that investigates form, speed, and effort while traversing additional spectrums such as those between soft and thick textures, delicacy and explosive power, and understatement and exaggeration. The language of Gaga is in a continual process of evolution, and the classes vary and develop accordingly.

In this weekend we will start with Gaga, and dive into an extended physical excises to talk and work deeper in details for the rest of the day.
