Gaga/people movement language class
3:30PM - 4:30pm | Please note Change in time of class
"We are happy to partner with urbanframeworks to bring Gaga, Ohad Naharin's movement language, to —spectrum in Western Australia. The language of Gaga originated from the belief in the healing, dynamic, ever-changing power of movement. The awareness, sensitivity, and availability that Gaga proposes is a natural complement to —spectrum's theme. We welcome the local community to join us for two sessions exploring pleasure, effort, delicacy, groove, and passion to move." Gaga Movement Ltd.
The Gaga/people movement language classes taught by Idan Porges are open to the general public for this one day event. No previous dance experience is needed. Gaga/people classes are open to people ages 16+, regardless of their background in dance or movement.
Gaga/people classes last for one hour and are taught by dancers who have worked closely with Ohad Naharin in the Batsheva Ensemble or Batsheva Dance Company. Idan Porges will guide the participants using a series of evocative instructions that build one on top of the other. Rather than copying a particular movement, each participant in the class actively explores these instructions, discovering how he or she can interpret the information and perform the task at hand. Gaga/people classes offer a creative framework for participants to connect to their bodies and imaginations, increase their physical awareness, improve their flexibility and stamina, and experience the pleasure of movement in a welcoming, accepting atmosphere.

Participants should wear comfortable clothes and trainers. It is advisable to bring a bottle of water and a towel for use after class. There are two classes on offer with separate programs in each. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the class.
