Gaga/people – dance activity for adults

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.

19 December (Thursday), 6.30PM-8.30PM, SOLD OUT

On 11 April the Gaga People class will be held at the Monument View Room (level 0, the main Museum building). Meeting point is at the staff entrance from the side of Anielewicza Street. Due to security reasons, please be sure to arrive no later than 15 minutes prior to the start of class.

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, and it continues to evolve today.

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.

Gaga/people classes are open to people aged 16+, regardless of their background in dance or movement. No previous dance experience is necessary.
