Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the manuscript is to serve as a short study on the topic ‘Gaga language of movement: imagination and movement in the artist’s body’. Following the need for a connection between body and consciousness/subconscious, in the proposed analysis the artist’s body is presented as a ‘visual design of the mind’, whose perceptions lead to а different possibilities for allowing imagination in the movement. The fantastic reality that the body can create under the influence of an inspiration is viewed through the prism of experienced bodily ideas, taken and modified by the Israeli dance language of the Gaga movement, which is the work of the choreographer Ohad Naharin. Research on the path of the artist, starting from observation and reaching a possible artistic ingenuity, brought to physical form.
