Rudolf Laban Groundbreaking movement theorist

Rudolf Laban (1879-1958) was a choreographer, architect, dance teacher and movement theorist whose work continues to play a vital role in dance and other fields. Beyond the performing arts, Laban's theories are currently used in cross-cultural studies, communications, animation, leadership development, somatic therapies and more.
On Laban Movement Analysis and The Eight Efforts Laban technique was created by a Hungarian man named Rudolph Laban, who
was interested in studying the language of movement. His studies began
primarily in the dance world and eventually grew to incorporate education
practices, factory workers and assembly lines, and movement therapy. Laban

visualizing, interpreting, and documenting all varieties of human movement.

dance, they are also incredibly useful while acting.
