Определение и Значение "Laban movement analysis"

What is "Laban movement analysis"?

Laban movement analysis (LMA) is a system for observing, describing, and interpreting human movement. Developed by Rudolf Laban, it provides a framework for analyzing how people move and communicate through movement. LMA focuses on different aspects of movement, including body, effort, shape, and space. It helps in understanding and categorizing various movement qualities, such as how energy is used and the patterns of movement in different contexts. This analysis is used in fields such as dance, theater, and therapy to improve performance, teaching, and movement-based practices.
