In the upcoming hybrid course, jointly sponsored with the Laban/Bartenieff Institute, I guide readers and movers through one of Laban’s most difficult books, Choreutics. Across six weeks, we read and discuss all twelve chapters written by Laban.
These readings are arranged by themes: space and body, space and effort, spatial scales and effort sequences, with side discussions on Laban’s philosophy of movement.
Questions are provided for each chapter, to help readers identify key ideas. Movement prompts are also given to link theory with physical practice. Periodic Zoom sessions offer additional opportunities for deepening understanding.
