This work celebrates the 50th anniversary of this dancing academy, founded by Rudolf Laban in 1946. Laban fled from the Nazi regime and in 1938 joined his former pupils, Kurt Jooss and Lisa Ullman, who had been working at Dartington Hall since 1934. In 1946 Laban and Ullman launched the Laban Centre, at first called the Art of Movement Studio, in Manchester. It moved to Addlestone in Surrey in 1953 and to New Cross in 1976.

Body - Space - Expression: The Development Of Rudolf Laban's Movement And Dance Concepts (Approaches To Semiotics).
"[The authors of this work] outline a process for exploring dancer, choreographer, and movement researcher Rudolf Laban's "Efforts of Action Drive," which allow actors to understand their own movement and that of others. They focus on the eight Basic Efforts (Floating, Dabbing, Wringing, Thrusting, Pressing, Flicking, Slashing, and Gliding) to transform physical expression, and discuss the concepts of movement and Effort in the context of acting; unlocking movement potential; the building blocks, including the Motion Factors; a process for learning the Efforts in acting; the Effort Archetypes, the Effort Weave as a means to change from one to the another, and the Effort Duo that expresses two different Efforts at the same time; and applying the Efforts, including their use in rehearsal. It includes online video footage of practical explorations of the process, as well as audio recordings of instructions for guided improvisation."--Provided by publisher.
