    Laban Movement Analysis is a framework and notation system created by Rudolf von Laban to describe, interpret, and document human movement. It identifies three main elements of movement - time, weight, and space - each with two defining qualities that create a spectrum for the texture of movement. Laban used a combination of these elements and their qualities to develop eight distinct effort actions used when motivated to move.

    laban Movement Analysis

    A framework and notation system


    to describe, interpret and document
    human movement designed by Rudolf
    von Laban - one of the pioneers of
    modern dance in Europe in the
    late 19th - early 20th century.

    Laban's theories include the identification


    of 3 main elements of movement:

    Sudden Strong Flexible

    Time weight space


    Sustained Light Direct

    Each element consists of two defining


    qualities and creates a spectrum for the
    texture of movement.
    effort actions
    Laban used a combination of the 3
    elements of movement and their
    unique qualities to develop 8 distinct
    kinds of efforts used when we are
    motivated to move.

    Notes
    As unique individuals, each one of us
    has a 'core' effort action, or a way in
    which we instinctively prefer to move.
    Do you recognise which one of the
    above effort actions is unique to the
    way you prefer to move?
