Gaga alle Level

Please note! There is no entry to the class after that class has started. Please be 10 min before the class starts at the studio.

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.

Entropia / a singular flow I Open Level with Giuliana Corsi

Open Level / Intermediate / Advanced / Professionals welcome
This practice starts with a thorough warm up which activates the muscles, skin, fascia and skeleton. We go on with a movement research, where Giuliana brings up ways of activating awareness and focus, using isolation and textured improvisation tools that bring out details, unlocks whimsical and haptic qualities to the moving body and create different connections of the limbs in relation to the spine. This culminates on a choreographed sequence that combines musicality, precision, floor work and acrobatic elements focusing on moving in relation to textured and detailed gestural work.

Notable pieces include "Un salto de fe," premiered in 2017 in Santiago de Chile, followed by "No es Necesario" in the same year, "Blue" in 2018 and 2019, and "Manual de Humanidad. Volumen piel," which premiered in May 2018. In 2019, she launched a revised version of her dance piece "To Take the Leap" in Berlin. This project became the foundation for the creative collective "Tanz den Widerstand," a collaboration with other Latin American artists. Since then, she has continued to develop self-produced dance pieces. Pamela's work as an independent artist has received support from Dachverband Tanz Deutschland. Through this organization, she created a solo work called "Suspended Earth," which will be featured in PAF 2023; and her latest project called "LATINX,” also funded by Dachverband Tanz Deutschland. In 2024, Pamela was selected to be part of the PAP mentorship program (Performing Arts Program). And her new independent small format piece, "Farewell - Requiem for a Friend," was showcased at the Festival Against the Grain. Additionally, in 2024, she has been developing physical practices aimed at maintaining dance training while also focusing on building community and sharing dance practices in various formats.

Modern Jazz I Open Level with Jhonathan Alexander Arias Gomez

1. Warm-up (Here we will work on ballet technique exercises and dissociation exercises, which will help us to have better control of our body and will help us to have a better cleanliness in the execution of movements).
2. Strengthening: (For me it is very important to strengthen the center of our body, we must not forget that it is the engine of our movement. Here we will work on resistance and strength through exercises that will help you be more agile).
3. Diagonals: (Here we will work on the importance of the relationship between the body and space, where we will make dance combinations traveling through space, likewise we will work on the power of jumps and movements at different levels).
   4.Choreography: ( In this block we will work on choreographies related to the world of musicals, jazz funk, lyrical jazz, without forgetting that modern jazz can combine different music and styles; I will give you my own style based on the search for my own style and of my experience as a professional dancer).

After a fifteen year long career, Jhonathan has the opportunity to work with renowned choreographers such as: Nils Christe , Birgit Scherzer, Giorgio Mancini, Mauro De Candia and Adriana Mortelliti. Although he remains open for job opportunities as a dancer, Jhonathan is now narrowing
his focus towards teaching and choreographing for various project.
