Rudolf Laban, the famed dancer-choreographer and 'founding father'
of modern dance, also had experience as a painter, sculptor, and
architect, and allowed those skills to influence his innovative
choreographic techniques. His important works and his creation of
one of the most significant forms of dance notation make him an
essential component of dance history. Rudolf Laban: The Dancer of
the Crystal examines Laban's training, his teaching experiences,
and the discovery and development of his principles of form and
movement, paying special attention to his choreographic and
philosophical work. Author Evelyn Doerr presents intriguing tidbits
of the artist's experience, such as Laban's ambivalent position as
the 'dance organizer' of the Nazi party in Germany, embedded in a
historical and philosophical context, offering insights to his
choreographic processes and the events that shaped his life. The
book presents the different stages and elements of Laban's
choreography discussing, for example, Laban's "dance-sound-word"
instructional approach, his concept of the "movement choir" and
examples of its realization, the concepts of eukinetics and
choreutics, and a description of how these subjects were taught in
Laban's school. Doerr also analyzes important elements in Laban's
theories of spatial harmony and of effort, and she investigates his
various early systems of dance notation, leading to a detailed
explanation of kinetography, Laban's final notational system. A
complete bibliography and an appendix of works choreographed
between 1897 and 1936 help make this book an important contribution
to Laban scholarship and to the dance, theater, and cultural
history of Europe in the first half of the 20th century.
