ABSTRACT
Labanotation, or Kinetography Laban, is the system of recording movement originated by Rudolf Laban in the 1920s. By this now scientifically based method, all forms of movement, ranging from the simplest to the most complex, can be accurately written. Its usefulness to dancers is obvious. The system has also been successfully applied to every field in which there is the need to record motions of the human body - anthropology, athletics, and physiotherapy, to name just a few.
