GAGA is a “movement language” developed by Ohad Naharin, dancer and choreographer, founder of the Israeli Batsheva Dance Company. Its origins date back 20 years ago, to a time when Naharin was recovering from a serious back injury. Since that time it has become part of everyday practice of Batsheva dancers. “I needed two things: to get my body to move a little bit and also to be able to give other people the keys to the way to move without hurting themselves.” Everything has started from Naharin’s self-observation and increased awareness of his own body in movement. From that perspective, he started to articulate his own experiences to the dancers until it eventually became “a language and a method”. Today GAGA is regarded as the “higher education of dance”, one that uses no particular technique – on the contrary, it makes you excel in the method you practice everyday.
