Rudolf Laban was one of the leading dance theorists of the twentieth century. His work on dance analysis and notation raised the status of dance as both an art form and a scholarly discipline. This is the first book to combine:an overview of Labans life; work and influences an exploration of his key ideas; including the revolutionary Laban Movement Analysis systemanalysis of his works Die Gruuml;nen Clowns and Mastery of Movement and their relevance to dance theatre from the 1920s onwardsa detailed exercise-based breakdown of Labans key teachings.As a first step towards critical understanding; and as an initial exploration before going on to further primary research; Routledge Performance Practitioners are unbeatable value for todays student.

Okay; totally reliable; but heavy handed on the statistics and the narrative is a bit dryBy J. R. DeanMr. Poremba is a genius of Detroit. We are lucky to have his expertise.This is a very valuable contribution to his opus and to the study of Detroit --currently the greatest and most undervalued city in the USA.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Another facet of DetroitBy jarksMister Poremba has put together another winner. A fantastic collection of photographs and Mr. Porembas words always delight and enlighten. Each book that he produces gives the reader a richer understanding of the city of Detroit and its history. These books make learning about it a joy. Thanks; Mr. Poremba. Keep them coming.
