GagaLab Summer 2026 in New York

Join us for GagaLab Summer 2026 in New York: 6 days of intensive physical research, with a sense of plenty of time for process and discovery. Rooted in Ohad Naharin’s evolving movement language, GagaLab offers a framework to develop your artistry while connecting to your skills, imagination, and passion to move.  Awaken your senses and turn on your engines in morning Gaga/dancers classes.  Then apply Gaga tools to Naharin’s renowned, challenging choreography in daily repertory sessions, and deepen your understanding of Gaga in afternoon metodika classes, several of which will be taught by Naharin himself.
