would ve loved to see him do it .. i m tired of looking at 20 year old bodies

[@Micro.Movement]

The Gaga language concept is really remarkably simple, so simple that even children can relate to it, in this way you can feel better your body and emotions.
For dancers it's a warm up and for non (professional) dancers it's a way to connect better.

"Thinking about movement as something that can heal."

[@marijanavercej-zivanovic3027]

wow i like this gaga style...actually, i m doing it every day while I m cooking, but now even that moves have name.

[@tobiaszb]

I like the idea, and my research seems to be describable similarly, without demons and soul. It's about the space of simultaneous movements, taking in to account also movements of eyeballs, movements in a space of associations (face muscles with words pronounciations with images of faces and tongues).

It's what we do in Dance/Movement Therapy (Authentic Movement)

[@Micro.Movement]

my guess is that the movement language is not exactly the same.

[@elynselu7202]

@@Micro.Movement As an Authentic Movement provider and someone who has attended Gaga classes in Israel, the differences on the surface are that in Gaga, you keep your eyes open, you never stop moving, and the instruction and metaphor for movement comes from the teacher. In Authentic Movement, there is no music or instruction. You move with your eyes closed and all impulse to move is from the body's desire to move - an impulse that connects us to psyche. Both modalities work beautifully, but are different in their approach.

Something about GaGa is reminiscent of the Arthur Fleck’s dance in the bathroom. I wouldn’t doubt that it was inspiration for it

[@killyourhero77]

Its like myofascial unwinding!

[@larsmaue6713]

Did you work with suprapto suryodarmo?

[@erikakennedy6603]

Is this you Branka, do i see you in the video? :-)

[@111livetoride]

I’ve seen a lot of Gaga dancers under the bridge.

[@whyishoudini]

[@chopin4321]

DELICACY...MINIMALISM...SMALL GESTURES...HEALING...BEYOND FAMILIAR LIMITS...FORM...BEYOND...MORE WITH LESS

[@mrplusfm]

interesting but hardly "unique" - these type of moves have been evolving since the sixties

Not foiled by me but you all will be bound in the name of Jesus!

C'est décadent. Laid et inutile.

[@SumusVelgos]

C'est votre pensée de haine qui est décadente, Lili, regardez-vous bien dans le miroir de votre foi et pleurez d'être aussi laide.
