Introduction: Roudolf Laban is the man who created a way in which we can analyze, experience and interpret human movement. He developed the Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) which is a theoretical and experimental take on human movement. (Konie 2011) The LMA helps one to understand one’s body and to use it to its fullest potential. There are four major sub-divisions in the LMA which are body, effort, shape and space (BESS)(Adrian 2008). The following academic review will analyse the body, effort, shape
Movement Education is an approach to teaching physical education that involves problem solving, guided-discovery and exploring methods with the effect of individualizing learning. This method applies coordinated and rhythmical body movements in learning situations. Movement Education is a newer approach to teaching that originates from the 1960’s, 1970’s and 1980’s. Throughout this paper the concepts created by Rudolf Laban will be discussed along with the different methods of teaching involved

Not only have I learned to become peripherally aware, but I have also learned to become more observant and to notice body movements, while understanding the meaning behind the gesture. Aside from being on stage, being apart of the audience motivates me to engage in the moment, as well as to interpret what these movements might portray, while bringing out a sense of joy and empathy for those on stage.

Throughout the semester, we have intensively studied how computer science relates to the world around us, through video games, database systems, and artificial intelligence. But what we have not discussed is how all of these subjects in computer science, like pep8, pseudo code, gates and circuits, relate to our artistic world; dance, music, and live theatre. Listening to a piece of music, or as an audience member watching a dance or theatre performance, one assumes that the entire production, stemmed
“Movement is as natural and essential to young children’s lives as loving care, rest and nutrition. Movement provides children with an outlet for expression, creativity, and discovery. Through movement, children learn about themselves, their environment, and others. Movement is a stimulus for physical growth and development. The joy of movement is a child’s expression of an emotional need fulfilled.” (Curtis) The movement education teaching model, its historical development, its concepts and
This essay will analyse key features from Christopher Bruce’s Little Red Rooster (1991) using the framework created by Rudolph Laban (1897-1958). By using Laban’s method of exploring body, effort, shape and relationship of human movement there may be as Moore and Yamamoto suggest, the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of the meaning of the movement (58) Little Red Rooster (1991) commences with a male dancer in an asymmetric and angular posture of stillness facing stage left. Through muscular
and analyzed it using LMA. The movement of their bodies was mesmerizing. Whatever the male dancer did, the female followed in such precise synchronization. The male initiated each movement and directed the female. Both their movements were simultaneous and occurred at the same time in tune with one another. Her hips were a live and did not harm or distract the movement. As the male dancer twirled the female around, he would whip her around so fast that the final movement of her arm stretched out seemed

Dance/movement therapy relies on the body and mind connection, and allows the client to use their movement as a way to promote emotional and psychological healing (Malchiodi, 2013).
