Rudolf von Laban.jpg
Rudolph Laban was born in 1879 - 1958. He was a choreographer and he developed a system on analyzing movement using different movements.
In lesson we did a movement session based on the Laban technique where we had to move around the room in a certain way... This was achieved by having four different factors: Space, Weight, Time, and Flow. These are each affected by different elements which either fight against or flow with. The different effort elements that go against are: Direct, Strong, Sudden, and Bound. And the effort elements that flow are: Flexible, Light, Sustained, and Free.
We had to combine each factor with different elements each time to see how this changes our movement and perhaps develops our physicality.
Personally this strongly helped me with my physicality for 'Bluebottle', as I could explore different ways to move in an extremely contrasting way
