Labanotation : or Kinetography Laban ; the system of analyzing and recording movementUpplaga 3

Initiated by the movement genius Rudolf Laban, and refined through 50 years of work by teachers here and abroad, Labanotation, the first wholly successful system for recording human movement, is now having the effect on ballet and other forms of the dance that the prefection of music notation in the Renaissance had on the development of music. Through Labanotation it is now possible to record accurately, for study and reconstruction, the great dance creations of the theatre, as well as such diverse activities as time/motion studies for industry, personnel assessment and physical therapy. So comprehensive that it can indicate even facial expressions, the system is also simple enough for a child to learn easily as an integral part of athletic or dance training. Here in this revised edition--the result of international conferences, standardizing terms and symbols--is a complete exposition of Labanotation.
