RESILIENCE Dance Company: Gaga Technique with Annie Rigney

  • Webster University's Loretto-Hilton Studios 130 Edgar Road Webster Groves, MO, 63119 United States (map)

Gaga 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.

Based in Ohad Naharin’s movement language “Gaga”, Gaga Classes use imagery and sensation-based instructions to investigate texture, speed, and delicacy and to connect students to their imagination and physical potential.

Cost: $15 Drop-in
