Laban Movement Analysis is a system developed by Rudolf Laban that categorizes and describes human movement. It focuses on four main components: Body, Effort, Shape, and Space. This framework helps individuals understand how they move and express themselves through physical actions. The analysis is used in various fields, including dance, theater, and physical therapy. By examining movement qualities and patterns, practitioners can enhance performance, improve communication, and promote body awareness. Laban's work has influenced many areas, including choreography and somatic practices.
