  • 1.  Laban Movement

    Posted 03-28-2018 15:57
    Hi All,
    I'm an old dog but want to learn some new tricks.  I don't know much about Labon Movement but want to learn (it wasn't taught when I went to school back in the dark ages).  What book(s) would you recommend to learn enough information to teach Labon in my classroom.  Also, anybody have a good lesson plan or or other resources.  
    Thanks,
    Russ

    Here's some books I like:

    Also, the Drama Teachers Academy has a good module on using Laban. I've just started using Laban in my classroom and I like it because it's easily accessible for my students. The Laban Efforts give them a way to interpret monologues and it helps them develop a physical character. It's great with mask work, too.

    You may not be able to access this but it's the Drama Teachers Academy site for Laban:
