Below you will find descriptions of each class:
Gaga People
Led by Catherine Coury
Gaga is the movement language developed by Ohad Naharin. Gaga classes provide a framework for participants to connect with their bodies and imaginations, experience physical sensations, improve flexibility and stamina, cultivate agility and explosive power, and enjoy the pleasure of movement within a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. Throughout the class, participants are guided through a series of evocative instructions designed to deepen awareness and amplify sensation. Rather than moving from one prompt to the next, information is layered, building toward a multisensory and physically challenging experience.
Marcat Dance Research
Led by Mario Bermúdez
This class focuses on grounding the body to develop elasticity, strength, and release, allowing energy to flow freely between internal and external expansion. Through guided improvisation drawn from Marcat Dance’s research practices, dancers explore shifting movement qualities, dynamic textures, and musicality. Physical and vocal play encourage participants to follow inner impulses while remaining attentive to themselves and the group. The class fosters awareness, confidence, and individuality, inviting dancers to discover both their vulnerabilities and the light they carry within.
Marcat Dance Repertory
Led by Mario Bermúdez and Catherine Coury
Participants will learn award-winning choreographic works by Mario Bermúdez that have been performed internationally. Each piece embodies a distinct movement vocabulary, original music, and its own imaginative world. In addition to learning the choreography, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and gain insight into the creative processes behind the works.
