Gaga/people & Bodywork 

In this workshop we take you on a journey into the moving body and the opening of sensory awareness. In the gaga/people sessions we explore a wide range of sensations inside tasks that engage our whole body and imagination. while we groove and enjoy a workout, we find new possibilities in our movement. The Bodywork session is a guided intuitive journey into working with the inner body, the access point through which we connect to the subtle layers of our bodily awareness and experience. Our intention is to create a space for exploration, curiosity and pleasure to let your individual creative process unfold.

BodyWork by Marina Rothenbach

The bodywork session feels like a journey through the inner body – every moment is characterised by deep awareness of aliveness as it unfolds in the exploration of the physical body, layer by layer. 

Using a combination of breathing and perceptive exercises, we explore and balance our structure as a tensegrity system.

The focus is on creating and maintaining an inner and outer space for listening, which promotes a deep dialogue, teaching us to discover the body in new ways. With ease and playfulness we can recognize blockages early on and move through them.

Gaga/people class (1hr)

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.

Throughout the class, participants are guided by a series of evocative instructions deployed to increase awareness of and further amplify sensation. Rather than turning from one prompt to another, information is layered, building into a multisensory, physically challenging experience. While many instructions are imbued with rich imagery, the research of Gaga is fundamentally physical, insisting on a specific process of embodiment. Inside this shared research, the improvisational nature of the exploration enables each participant’s deeply personal connection with Gaga.

Everybody aged 16+ is welcome. No prior dance experience necessary. We move in comfortable clothes, barefeet or with socks.
