Publisher's Synopsis
Rudolf Laban, the Hungarian pioneer of modern dance theory and notation technique, may yet prove the most influential dance figure of the 20th century. Published to coincide with the opening of a major international exhibition in London celebrating his work, this book introduces the man and assesses the range of his influence through a series of essays and a reference file. Intended for teachers, students and dance professionals, this book aims to meet a need for an introduction to a key European figure whose ideas are enjoying an international resurgence.
