Intro GAGA & LES OISEAUX Connect to the pleasure of dancing
w/ Mourad Bouayad
Wed 15 Apr - 26
17:00 - 19:00
What is Intro GAGA & LES OISEAUX ?
Meet Mourad Bouayad, dancer, choreographer, and Gaga teacher, for a workshop based on improvisation, composition and awareness.
Between guided free dance and choreographic work that is at once virtuosic, playful, and demanding, Mourad Bouayad’s teaching adapts to each student, to their level as well as their personal desire. It is driven by a deep conviction: dance should above all remain a game, a space of freedom and joy.
Allowing space for the individual and for listening
to the group. In improvisation and choreography, exploring tools to develop the dancers’ free will and virtuosity.
The body, as a vessel of emotions, becomes an instrument of intention. A sensitive musicality, driven by groove and instinct, unfolds, playing with dynamics and breaks to create a hybrid, living form.

• During a Gaga class, sensation is the guide discovering the infinite tools hidden within our bodies, a careful listening to oneself and to others. The class is presented as a voice-guided improvisation with the teacher at the center: no mirrors, no audience, just us and our shared exploration. • Les Oiseaux is an inclusive dance exercice combining composition, improvisation, exploration, acceptance, and attentiveness to others. A suspended moment, reaching toward the freedom of bodies. To invent. To rehearse. To refine. To search, to lose, to rediscover. To discover one’s own body, and those of others. To test one’s own dance, and theirs.
Anyone that wants to have fun, dance and dig into sensations and shared space.
New discoveries, performing experience.
Improvisation and composition, listening to the group, co creation and co existence in space.
