A handbook complete with graded exercises for teachers and students wanting a practical introduction to Laban's famous system of movement. Rudolf Laban is to movement what Stanislavski is to acting. He devised the first wholly successful system for recording human movement, a system which is increasingly influential in the training of actors and dancers.

This book is not very useful. If looking for a book that will explain Laban's movement theories and expand them for theater, use Nicole Potter's Movement for Actors. It is much clearer, easier to read, and more informative.

More of 3.5. I enjoyed this much more than "Laban for All". Easier to read and the flow of the book was much better. Great charts, too.
