Laban Movement Analysis is a method and a language invented by Hungarian dancer, teacher and author Rudolf Laban (1879-1958). Laban Movement Analysis can be used to explore the full range of human condition. Taking the body as a reference, the kinesphere is also the container of a cube (containing all diagonal directions and dimensions) and of an icosahedron made by three bi-dimensional planes: it contains angular geometry inside a round geometry.
Laban Movement Analysis is a theoretical and experiential system for the observation, description, prescription, performance and interpretation of human moment. This can be used in acting and dance to create an emotional response from the audience. Rudolf Laban identified four factors of movement:
Space: Direct or Indirect
Weight: Heavy or Light
Time: Quick or Sustained
Flow: Bound or Free
Theoretical Imagery
