GAGA--Batsheva's own technique
Batsheva Dance Company was founded in 1964 by Martha Graham and Baroness Batsheva De Rothschild. Since then, Batsheva has become one of the leading international dance companies.

Led by Artistic Director Ohad Naharin, together with House Choreographer Sharon Eyal, the company’s 65 members – dancers, technical crew and administration are driven by a common vision - to excel in art and to strengthen common human values through the power of creativity.

Batsheva Dance Company created GAGA, their own unique technique of exploring movement possibilities within the human body. They will be teaching this movement technique for our master class. To find out more about GAGA, what it is, etc., follow this link to recent article: Gaga for GAGA
