About this Item

2011 printing and the cover differs from the one shown on Amazon. Book has a very mellow crease that cuts across the bottom left corner that is about seven inches long. Light wear to the edges and corners with light rubbing to covers, with light creasing to the spine. Aside from the items listed, this is a very good copy that remains well-bound with bright pages that are crisp and unmarked.

About this title

Synopsis

A definitive book for students of dance and movement studies, Labanotation is now available in a fourth edition, the first complete revision of the text since 1977.

Initiated by the movement genius Rudolf Laban, and refined through fifty years of work by teachers here and abroad, Labanotation, the first wholly successful system for recording human movement, is now having the effect on ballet and other forms of dance that the prefection of music notation in the Renaissance had on the development of music.

This book makes it possible to record accurately, for study and reconstruction, the great dance creations of the theater, as well as such diverse activities as time/motion studies for industry, personnel assessment and physical therapy. So comprehensive that it can indicate even facial expressions, the system is also simple enough for a child to learn easily as an integral part of athletic or dance training.
