TISDAGS GAGA/dancers

Ett samarbete mellan Dansalliansen, Kulturakademin och ilDance

Gaga är det rörelsespråk som utvecklats av Ohad Naharin under många år, parallellt med hans arbete som koreograf och konstnärlig ledare (1990-2018) av Batsheva Dance Company. Gaga ger en ram för att upptäcka och stärka kroppen med flexibilitet, uthållighet, smidighet och koordination och samtidigt stimulera alla sinnena och fantasin.

Gaga / dancers klasser fördjupar dansarens medvetenhet om fysiska förnimmelser, genom att utöka sina möjligheter av tillgängliga rörelsealternativ, förbättra sin förmåga att nyansera energi och använda sin explosiva kraft, och berika rörelsekvaliteten med ett brett utbud av olika texturer. Under klasserna guidas dansaren av läraren för att introducera nya rörelseutmaningar, där läraren uppmanar deltagarna att våga besöka mer okända platser för att kanske upptäcka nya möjligheter till rörelse i kroppen.
