What Is the “Dynamosphere?”

Laban defines the dynamosphere as “the space in which our dynamic actions take place.”  By calling the dynamosphere a “space,” Laban seems to see it as analogous to the “kinesphere,” which is the space surrounding the mover’s body.  Yet there is difference in these two spaces.

While the kinesphere is an outer, observable, physical space, the dynamosphere is a virtual, inner, psychological realm – the arena of human life in which “impulses surge and seek an outlet in doing, acting and dancing.”

In short, the dynamosphere is the realm of effort.  Take a guided tour of your dynamosphere in the upcoming MoveScape Center workshop, “The Transformation Drives.”
