What Is an “Effort Bank?”

Investing in an “effort bank” helps the movement specialist use Laban’s effort theories effectively.  An effort bank is not a brick-and-mortar structure, however.  It is a personal treasury of experience acquired by moving and observing effort.

The upcoming MoveScape Center course, “The Transformation Drives,” helps participants invest in their effort banks.  This is done in several ways.

First, the course provides images and suggestions for embodying the eight variations of each of the transformation drives – Passion, Vision, and Spell – and discovering their personal meanings.

In addition, assignments include the study of video or other visual examples that provide clear and obvious examples of these drives in the performing and visual arts.
