Gaga offers a framework for users to connect to their bodies and imaginations, exercise their agility and explosive power, and enjoy the pleasure of movement in a welcoming, accepting atmosphere.

Gaga/dancers deepens dancers’ awareness of physical sensations, expands their palette of available movement options, enhances their ability to modulate their energy and engage their explosive power, and enriches their movement quality with a wide range of textures.

The classes are built on the same principles as Gaga/people classes but also employ the specific vocabulary and skills that are part and parcel of a dancer’s knowledge. The layering of familiar skills with Gaga tasks presents dancers with fresh challenges, and throughout the class, teachers prompt the dancers to visit more unfamiliar places and ways of moving as well, unlocking the endlessness of possibilities.

The classes are organized in collaboration with Dansalliansen.

DANCE WORKSHOP - 16:00 - 18:00

Through a workshop with Elias Kraft, one of the cast members of the Dancing Histor(y)ies ensemble, a project presentation and open conversation, we invite participants for a sharing of experiences around the topics of international, transdisciplinary collaboration, site-specific performance, and how to connect contemporary dance, cultural heritage and community work. Participants are invited to join all activities or any part of them.

About the workshop

In this workshop you will be invited to explore improvisational tasks and performativity within a group setting. These tasks will amongst other things be based on timing, choice, spatial awareness and relation, and also accepting or giving support to the shared structure. We will explore this through the lens of floorwork exercises and practicing the awareness of minimal inner tensions within the body and their impact on our choice making individually and collectively.

PROJECT PRESENTATION - 18:00 - 20:00

ilDance’s producer Hanna Magdalena Gödl will present the ‘Dancing Histor(y)ies’ project and speak about the Artistic Partners’ role in it. In collaboration with local communities, new contemporary, site-specific dance works are created which are shown at festivals organized by institutional partners in the five heritage sites of Serbia, Spain, Italy and Greece. After the presentation, we will open up the conversation to speak about international collaborations and their significance for independent artists, the challenges that come with it as well as the possibilities they create.

Following our final performance in Belgrade, we invite you to join us for an Artist Talk. This event provides an opportunity to engage with the entire creative team, ask questions, and gain insights into our creative process.

‘Boys Just Want To Have Fun’ is a durational multi-disciplinary dance-performance act to be presented in white exhibition/gallery spaces. The work confronts the challenge of deconstructing the ‘man’ and taboos around men’s sensuality and tactility in mainstream Western culture by addressing power dynamics and hierarchies of social positioning in the visual art space (the gallery), politics of object and subject (presenting man as an object), questioning what a body is and how its utterances are informed by its process of becoming, as well as the practice of individual agency in a public space (both for the public and the performers).

In this project, objectification is utilised to examine the ‘man’ as an artwork, a creation, or a fiction. The question is, how are men being ‘man-ified’ and ‘man-ifactured’ in our society?

The public will be actively invited to come and leave as they please, as well as choose their own spatial trajectory in the performance space, fostering a sense of active participation and engagement.

Gaga is the movement research that was developed by Ohad Naharin throughout many years, parallel to his work as a choreographer and the artistic director of Batsheva Dance Company. Gaga was originated from the belief in the healing, dynamic, ever-changing power of movement. Gaga classes are predicated on a deep listening to the body and to physical sensations.

Gaga provides a framework for discovering and strengthening the body and adding flexibility, stamina, agility, and skills including coordination and efficiency while stimulating the senses and imagination. The classes offer a workout that investigates form, speed, and effort while traversing additional spectrums such as those between soft and thick textures, delicacy and explosive power, and understatement and exaggeration. Participants awaken numb areas, increase their awareness of habits, and improve their efficiency of movement inside multilayered tasks, and they are encouraged to connect to pleasure inside moments of effort. The movement research of Gaga is in a continual process of evolution, and the classes vary and develop accordingly.

Gaga/people classes are 60 mins long

Classes are open to participants from the age of 16. No previous dance or movement experience is necessary.
