Dancing Gaga, Coming Home: Ohad Naharin’s Movement Language

Echad Mi Yodea

(7 min) Gaga is a movement language created by Ohad Naharin that’s based in experiencing the body from the inside out. I’ve watched his dance repeatedly since I first saw it in the film Mr. Gaga, and it gets me every time. I see it as a portrayal of moving through inner and outer imprisonment— of trauma, capitalism, oppression— to arrive at a radical experience of freedom. 

Coupled with the Passover song “Echad Mi Yodea,” the dance speaks to me of the frustration and fury at being disconnected from our bodies and the earth, and of our longing to come back into contact with oneness.  

Watching this video, I was stunned by the way the dancers inhabit their bodies with such a sense of both commitment and abandon, and I experienced a deep longing to be able to move like that. Luckily, I discovered Gaga dance classes online. Dancing Gaga is completely shifting my experience of being in my body— it makes me feel like my body is coming home to itself.
