Laban uses the cube two ways in Choreutics. He introduces it as a model of the kinesphere, using its corners to identify diagonal lines of motion that promote mobility.
He also uses the cube as a model of what he calls the “dynamosphere,” which he defines as “the space in which our dynamic actions take place.” This sounds like the dynamosphere is a real space, like the kinesphere.
To further confound discussion of dynamosphere and effort, Laban uses direction symbols to stand for the Eight Basic Actions (float, punch, etc.).
In the summer course, “Decoding Choreutics” we will sort out these confusions to gain a clear understanding of the dynamosphere as a virtual space full of effort patterns.
