Join the fascinating world of Gaga with Chen-Wei Lee, an award-winning dancer and choreographer, in a class that promises to transform your understanding of movement.

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.

Join the fascinating world of Gaga with Chen-Wei Lee, an award-winning dancer and choreographer, in a class that promises to transform your understanding of movement.
Dancers, performers and people involved in bodywork who wish to enrich their palette of bodily expression, improve their improvisational skills and connect with their imagination.
Gaga/dancers enables dancers to deepen their awareness of physical sensations, broaden their palette of available movement options, improve their ability to modulate their energy and engage their explosive power, and enrich the quality of their movement with a wide range of textures. Classes are built on the same principles as Gaga/person classes, but also use the specific vocabulary and skills that are integral to a dancer's knowledge. Participants can expect to become more aware of their bodies and improve their ability to express themselves through movement. The workshop also aims to awaken curiosity about new forms of physical expression.
Classes will address aspects such as connecting to body sensations, emotional expression through movement, and exploring new ways of moving that challenge habits and conventions.

Forest Lighthouse is a centre for somatic and neurosomatic education in Brussels. We explore embodied learning through movement, perception, cognition, and emotional awareness. Our aim is to create the right conditions for learning so each person can discover and develop their abilities through direct experience.
