Human Effort – Almost Infinite

Human movement seems almost infinite in its variety. Yet we know that movement in the kinesphere is limited by bodily proportion, joint structure, range of motion, and the gravitational field in which we live.

Similarly the expressive dynamics of human movement seem almost infinite. Yet Laban posited limits here as well, noting that “transitions from one effort quality to another are either easy or difficult.”

In the upcoming MoveScape Center course, “Effort Harmonies,” we will be experiencing and questioning the “natural” limits of effort phrasing, within states and drives and between states and drives. Find out more in the next blogs.
