The Language Known as Gaga

Methodologies of Gaga
“What allows each artist in a Gaga
classroom the freedom from
production is in part, the structure of
the classroom. The Gaga instructor
stands in the middle of the room,
surrounded by the participants.”Author Cayla Bauer

Gaga to
Batsheva
“Gaga is about enlarging your ability to
accommodate different styles, different
choreographers…There is no Gaga way of
actually dancing. It's not a style. The idea
of Gaga is to just give you a bigger
toolbox so whatever you’re going to do,
you can use it.” -Former Batsheva Company
Member, Yaniv Avraham
