Choreutics, more than any of Rudolf Laban’s other writings, is an integrative book. It addresses not only Space, but also Body, Effort, and Shape. Because Laban’s explanations and intuitive leaps may not be obvious, reading and decoding Choreutics is more rewarding when done with others.

The participants will study and discuss the Preface, Introduction, and first 12 chapters of Choreutics under the experienced guidance of Laban scholar, Dr. Carol-Lynne Moore. Each reading assignment is augmented with study questions, including some movement and observation assignments. Four synchronous Zoom sessions deepen understanding through lecture and discussion.
