 Labanotation, the system of analyzing and recording movement.
Author: Guest, Ann Hutchinson Published: 2005 The standard and detailed textbook of Rudolf Laban's system of notating human movement. Initiated by the movement genius Rudolf Laban, and refined through over 60 years of international use and study, Labanotation, the first wholly successful system for recording human movement, has had the effect on dance that the perfection of music notation during the Renaissance had on music. Through Labanotation it is possible to record the changes in the angles of the limbs, the paths in space, and the flow of energy as well as addressing subtle distinctions of movement motivation and facial expression, making it possible to record for study and reconstruction the great dance creations. |
