For our Autumn Half Term (4th November - 13th December) Professional Class is on a break!

In it’s place, we are delighted to be offering open level Gaga/people classes with with Matteo Marfoglia.*

*Please note that the class on the 19th November will not be taught by Matteo, and therefore will not be a Gaga class. It will still be an open level session, and will utilise improvisatory techniques.

What is Gaga/people?

Gaga/people classes offer a framework for users to connect to their bodies and imaginations, experience physical sensations, improve their flexibility and stamina, exercise their agility and explosive power, and enjoy the pleasure of movement in a welcoming, accepting atmosphere.

Gaga is the movement language developed by Ohad Naharin throughout many years, parallel to his work as a world-renowned choreographer. Gaga classes are predicated on a deep activation of the body and physical sensations. We provide a framework for discovering and strengthening the body and adding flexibility, stamina, agility, and skills including coordination and efficiency while stimulating the senses and the imagination. 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 research of Gaga is in a continual process of evolution, and the classes vary and develop accordingly.

What level?

Gaga/people classes are open to people ages 16+, regardless of their background in dance or movement. No previous dance experience is needed. Classes last approximately one hour.

What should I bring?

Participants should wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to dance barefoot or in socks. It is advisable to bring a bottle of water and a towel for use after class.

What does it cost?

Classes are £8 each with Course Passes available ahead of each half-term.
