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.
