Rudolf Laban advocated a wide range of motion, noting that “we should neither have preference for nor avoid certain movements because of physical or psychical restrictions.” Laban also considered individuality to be an important component of expressive movement.
He observed, “Graceful movements will suit one person more than vital or bizarre movements, or the contrary may be the case. This is a question of individual temperament; some will prefer narrow and restrained movements, other may like to move freely in space, and so forth.”
“We should be able to do every imaginable movement,” Laban wrote in Choreutics, “and then select those which seem to be the most suitable and desirable for our own nature.”
“These can be found only by each individual himself,” he added.
