The mastery of movement by
Rudolf von Laban(
Book
)
25 editions published in 1971 in English and held by 770 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In this third edition, some amendments and additions have been made to the original text, first published in 1950. As in past editions, the relationship between the inner motivation of movement and the outer functioning of the body is explored. Acting and dancing are shown as activities deeply concerned with man's urge to establish values and meanings. The student is introduced to basic principles underlying movement expression and experience and numerous exercises are intended to challenge his intellectual, emotional and physical responses. The many descriptions of movement scenes and mime-dances are designed to stimulate penetration into man's inner life where movement and action originate. The chapters of the book discuss the following topics: Movement and the Bpdy; The Significance of Movement; Roots of Mime; The Study of Movement Expression; and Three Mime Plays. The book contains nine tables and 23 scenes for study. (Author/DB)

29 editions published between 1966 and 2012 in 3 languages and held by 375 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
'Choreutics' can be said to contain the essence of Laban's thought as well as an elaboration of the framework which he found useful for the penetration of the bewildering complexity of human movement. This he based on the unity of space and movement and he recognised a natural order in which the energy from within unfolds in space

Rudolf Laban (1879 -- 1958) was a pioneer in dance and movement, who found an extraordinary range of application for his ideas; from industry to drama, education and therapy.

It covers: The beginning of his career in Germany and Switzerland in the 1910s. His astonishing rise to fame in Germany in the 1920s as a dance teacher, choreographer and creator of public dance events. Following his move to England in 1938, the application of his ideas to drama, education, industry, and therapy. Each extract has a short preface providing contextual background, and highlighting and explaining key terms. Passages have been selected and are introduced by many of the world's leading Laban scholars

The mastery of movement by
Rudolf von Laban(
Book
)
16 editions published in 2011 in English and held by 81 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Laban's The Mastery of Movement on the Stage, first published in 1950, quickly came to be accepted as the standard work on his conception of human move ment. When he died, Laban was in the process of preparing a new edition of the book, and so for some time after his death it was out of printing That a second edition appeared was solely due to the efforts of Lisa Ullmann, who, better than any other person, was aware of the changes that Laban had intended to make. The rather broader treatment of the subject made advis able the change of title, for it was recognised that the book would appeal to all who seek to understand movement as a force in life. In this fourth edition Lisa Ullmann has taken the opportunity to make margin annotations to indicate the subject matter referred to in a particular section of the text, so that specified topics may be easily found. Kinetograms have been added to most of the examples in Chapters 2 and 3, as Laban originally intended, for the growing number of people who read and write movement notation. Lisa Ullmann has also compiled an Appendix on the the structure of effort, drawing largely on material from an unpublished book by Laban. The relationship between the inner motivation of movement and the outer functioning of the body is explored. Acting and dancing are shown as activities deeply concerned with man's urge to establish values and meanings. The student is introduced to basic principles underlying movement expres sion and experience and the numerous exercises are intended to challenge his or her intellectual, emotional and physical responses. The many descrip tions of movement scenes and mine-dances are designed to stimulate penetra tion into man's inner life from where movement and action originate
