In the previous blog, I characterized the “kinesphere” and “dynamosphere” as being different. However, there are also similarities in the way Laban conceived and gave structure to these distinct realms of human movement.
While the space surrounding the body is visible, it is also empty without any landmarks to map where the mover’s limbs go. To provide landmarks, Laban used the corners and edges of Platonic solids, inscribing a kind of longitude and latitude on the sphere of space around the body.
He provided similar landmarks for the dynamosphere to enable the mover to “perfect orientation in his inner world.” Find out more in “The Transformation Drives.”
