Open Level

 

These workshop sessions start with a 60 minute Gaga/ people class followed by a 2 hour research and improvisation session, exploring the material of each teacher, getting to know their own research, exploring Gaga tools deeper as well as movement qualities from the class.

Gaga/people classes offer a framework for users to connect to their bodies and imaginations, experience physical sensations, improve their flexibility and stamina, exercise their agility and explosive power, and enjoy the pleasure of movement in a welcoming, accepting atmosphere.

Throughout the class, participants are guided by a series of evocative instructions deployed to increase awareness of and further amplify sensation. Rather than turning from one prompt to another, information is layered, building into a multisensory, physically challenging experience. While many instructions are imbued with rich imagery, the research of Gaga is fundamentally physical, insisting on a specific process of embodiment. Inside this shared research, the improvisational nature of the exploration enables each participant’s deeply personal connection with Gaga.

After the Gaga class, the second part of the workshop integrates the principles of Gaga movement language with improvisation and underlying patterns of social choreography. By blending Gaga tools into exercise based on recursion and mutuality  while working with a partner, participants explore creative pathways where improvisation and the environment mirror each other. The goal is to nurture a harmonious relationship between oneself and the surroundings. We will uncover potentiality of sensorial responses and navigate through dynamic interplay between physicality and external stimuli.
