"Beyond Dance: Laban's Legacy of Movement Analysis "offers students
of dance and movement a brief introduction to the life and work of
Rudolf Laban, and how this work has been extended into the fields
of movement therapy, communications, early childhood development,
and other fields. Rudolf Laban's landmark system of movement
analysis has been applied to dance movement through both
Labanotation (his system of writing down movement) and also through
"effort-shape analysis," a system that was developed out of Laban's
work by his followers to better understand how movement occurs.
Laban's followers--notably Warren Lamb--used this as a basis to
study movement in a broader context, from how to make work more
efficient in agriculture and industry to how to better communicate
through body movement and gesture.
While many dance students know of Laban and his work as it applies
to their field, few know the full story of how this technique has
developed and grown. For many who enter into the fields of dance
movement therapy, performance, and communications, there are
valuable lessons to be learned from Laban and his follower's works.
"Beyond Dance: Laban's Legacy of Movement Analysis "offers a
concise introduction to this world.
Refreshingly free of jargon and easy to understand, the work offers
dance students--and others interested in human movement--a full
picture of the many possibilities inherent in Laban's theories. For
many who will pursue careers "beyond dance," this work will be a
useful guidebook into related areas.
This will be ideally suited to students of Laban movement theory in
dance and movement therapy, and will be used in advanced courses in
these areas as useful, briefintroduction to the field.
