Description
The Mastery of Movement by Rudolf von Laban and Lisa Ullmann is a comprehensive guide to understanding movement as a fundamental aspect of human expression. First published in 1950, this fourth edition has been revised and updated by Lisa Ullmann, who carefully incorporated her own insights and annotations to enhance the book's clarity and utility. The book explores the intricate relationship between inner motivation and outer bodily function, shedding light on the underlying principles that govern movement expression and experience. Through a range of exercises and descriptions, Laban and Ullmann challenge readers to engage with their intellectual, emotional, and physical responses, fostering a deeper understanding of the human body's capacity for creative expression. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to develop a more nuanced understanding of movement and its role in various artistic disciplines.
