Südpol-dance: Gaga/people with Tanja Saban

Südpol-dance format

Gaga/people

Gaga deepens dancers’ awareness of physical sensations, expands their palette of available movement options, enhances their ability to modulate their energy and engage their explosive power, and enriches their movement quality with a wide range of textures. The layering of familiar skills with Gaga tasks presents dancers with fresh challenges. Throughout the class, dancers are prompted to visit unfamiliar places and ways of moving as well as to unlock the endlessness of possibilities. Dancers are guided to connect their effort to pleasure and to discover the virtue of silliness.
Gaga strengthens the body by promoting flexibility, endurance and agility. Coordination and efficiency are trained and the senses and imagination are stimulated. The class deepens dancers’ awareness of physical sensations, enhances the ability to modulate energy and enriches movement quality with a wide range of textures, such as soft and strong, restrained and exaggerated. Suggestive instructions designed to increase and reinforce awareness of sensation guide through the training. Information is layered and built into a multi-sensory, physically challenging experience.

Tanja Saban is a dancer, certified Gaga teacher and yoga practitioner. Born and raised in Switzerland, she graduated from the SEAD training program in 2007. She is a recipient of a scholarship from Tanzquartier in Vienna, where she started her career as a freelance dancer and teacher. She collaborates with choreographers and artists of other disciplines and creates her own work in Austria, Spain, Switzerland, Israel and the US. The heart of her artistic practice is an ongoing research of the moving body – a space of experience, expression and personal expansion. She is currently developing a platform for co-creative, immersive dance experiences that oscillate between club culture, performance and embodied practices. Since 2021, she has been part of DOCK11 Digital Lab in Berlin, where she collaborates as a dancer and choreographer on developing new performance and workshop formats at the intersection of art and technology.
