Rudolf Laban defined the Dynamosphere as “the space in which our dynamic actions take place.” This virtual “space” is the companion domain to the “kinesphere,” the real bubble of space adjacent to the body in which visible movements occur.
The Dynamosphere is the realm of energy and effort. It can be thought of as a motivational area in which the inner need to act arises and becomes visible in how effortfully a movement is done.
Any movement can be performed with many different effort qualities. So I think of the Dynamosphere as an inner world of contrasting landscapes. Some are serene and pastoral, some have rugged terrain and far-ranging vistas, some are sunny, some are eerie and somber….
2021 is dedicated to Exploring the Dynamosphere through carefully guided MoveScape Center excursions.
