Laban Movement Theory
Laban Movement Theory is a method of experiencing, interpreting, and notating all aspects of human movement created by Hungarian dancer and choreographer Rudolf Laban (1879-1958). Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) is being used increasingly by conductors to help them understand how they move, identify their “movement signatures,” and offer them a wider palette of choices for expressivity. To understand how Laban can be applied to conducting, consider reading the texts below published by GIA. I contributed chapters that outline the basics of using Laban in gesture and rehearsal.
