In Chapter 7 of Choreutics, Laban introduces the “Standard Scale” (a.k.a. “Primary Scale”). This is a wonderful and challenging spatial sequence. And a really fruitful one, because many other scales can be derived from it.
So what is so troublesome about the Standard Scale??
The problem lies with how it is presented in Chapter 7. Errors in the illustrations and notations make it very difficult to discern how Laban created the Standard Scale and how it can be partitioned to generate other spatial patterns.
Don’t despair. Get the keys you need to unlock the potential of this spatial form in “Decoding Choreutics.”
