Smadar Goshen returns once again to TROIS C-L to offer a Gaga/dancers Masterclass!

Gaga movement, developed by Ohad Naharin, is based on a deep activation of the body and physical sensations. It provides a framework for discovering and strengthening the body while developing flexibility, endurance, agility, and skills such as coordination and efficiency, all while stimulating the senses and imagination.

The Masterclass includes:

• 75-minute Gaga/dancers class

• A short break

• A “Dive Deep” session of 2 hours

During these sessions, we will alternate between a deeper exploration of certain terms from the Gaga movement language and experimentation with somatic partnering practices.

These partnering practices introduce working with touch and weight-sharing, used as tools to develop an attentive, agile, and sensitive body. By alternating between the tangible feedback of another body and the intangible memory of touch (absent textures and surfaces), we will discover new motivations for movement and improvisation, enriching our imaginative and playful capacity while dancing.

Dancers are guided to connect their effort to pleasure and to discover the value of lightness and playfulness.
