PY.800.109 consists of a bi-weekly 80-minute long technique studio class. Gaga--the movement language created by Ohad Naharin, artistic director and choreographer of Batsheva Dance Company in Israel--is a continuous, sensation-based movement class. Students are encouraged to deeply listen to the body and to physical sensations. The research of Gaga is fundamentally physical, and insists on a specific process of embodiment through rich imagery. Gaga is improvisational in nature and focuses on each participant’s personal connection to the language. There are no mirrors in Gaga, and there are no observers. The class moves in continuum without breaks for an hour and fifteen minutes.
