ABSTRACT
From a morning stretch to a hip-hop spin; from a politician’s gesture to an infant’s crawling patterns; from standards in learning in the arts to observation of psychiatric patients, Laban’s legacy continues to inform and challenge us in performance and everyday life. The tanztheater, notation, the physical preparation for expressive movement, the healing practices, the work in education and industry, actor preparation and movement design are all pertinent to the twenty-first-century performer and practitioner.
