Combining the motion factors of Space and Flow yields what Laban called the “Remote” state. Laban relates this to an inner attitude of “detachment,” which may be restrained or relaxed, self-absorbed or more universal in focus.
He called the contrasting combination of the motion factors of Weight and Time the “Near” state. Laban relates this to an inner attitude of “presence,” which may express strong attachment or superficial touch having immediate or more lingering impact.
Why take Laban’s word for this? Explore your own felt sense of these inner attitudes in the MoveScape workshop “Incomplete Efforts,” starting in August.
