Gaga/dancers with Céline Barreau

Gaga/dancers 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 classes are built on the same principles as Gaga/people classes but also employ the specific vocabulary and skills that are part and parcel of a dancer’s knowledge. The layering of familiar skills with Gaga tasks presents dancers with fresh challenges, and throughout the class, teachers prompt the dancers to visit more unfamiliar places and ways of moving as well, unlocking the endlessness of possibilities. Dancers are guided to connect their effort to pleasure and to discover the virtue of silliness.

Céline Barreau is an independent dance artist currently working in the UK and in Switzerland. She grew up in Switzerland where she received professional ballet training and then moved to the US where she completed her studies in Neuroscience & Behaviour while still performing in venues along the East Coast. After some time working in a ballet company, she moved back to Europe to study contemporary improvisation methods and fell in love with Gaga. She spent a year in Tel-Aviv training under the direction of Bosmat Nossan and Ohad Naharin and became a certified Gaga teacher in 2021. She has since taught in London, Leeds, Cardiff, Montreal, Zurich, Luzern, and Amsterdam to dance companies, professional dance students, and dance lovers alike.
