Choreutics Is Integrative

Space is generally considered to be the main topic in Laban’s book, Choreutics.  Of the 12 chapters, however, three address the body, three address effort, and one chapter touches on shape.

In short, Choreutics is integrative in perspective.

Laban confirms this when he writes in the Introduction, “The art, or science, dealing with the analysis and synthesis of movement, we call ‘choreutics.’  Through its investigation and various exercises, choreutics attempts to stop the progress of disintegrating into disunity.”
