Gaga at Hidden Temple
Gaga dance classes are predicated on a deep activation of the body and physical sensations. Invitations are curated to increase awareness of and further amplify sensation, and rather than turning from one prompt to another, information is layered, building into a multisensory, physically enlightening experience. While many instructions are imbued with rich imagery, the research of Gaga is fundamentally physical.
Inside this shared research, the improvisational nature of Gaga’s explorations invites movers to develop deeper connections with their own movement, both inside of, and beyond, the studio.
All are welcome.
