Laban's The Mastery of Movement on the Stage, first published in
1950, quickly came to be accepted as the standard work on his
conception of human move-ment. When he died, Laban was in the
process of preparing a new edition of the book, and so for some
time after his death it was out of print. That a second edition
appeared was solely due to the efforts of Lisa Ullmann, who, better
than any other person, was aware of the changes that Laban had
intended to make. The rather broader treatment of the subject made
advis-able the change of title, for it was recognised that the book
would appeal to all who seek to understand movement as a force in
life. In this fourth edition Lisa Ullmann has taken the opportunity
to make margin annotations to indicate the subject matter referred
to in a particular section of the text, so that specified topics
may be easily found. Kinetograms have been added to most of the
examples in Chapters 2 and 3, as Laban originally intended, for the
growing number of people who read and write movement notation. Lisa
Ullmann has also compiled an Appendix on the the structure of
effort, drawing largely on material from an unpublished book by
Laban. The relationship between the inner motivation of movement
and the outer functioning of the body is explored. Acting and
dancing are shown as activities deeply concerned with man's urge to
establish values and meanings. The student is introduced to basic
principles underlying movement expres-sion and experience and the
numerous exercises are intended to challenge his or her
intellectual, emotional and physical responses. The many
descrip-tions of movement scenes and mine-dances are designed to
stimulate penetra-tion into man's inner life from where movement
and action originate.
