Rudolf Von Laban Movement Analysis
Rudolf Von Laban was born on 1879; he was a Slovakian dancer, choreographer and dance theorist. Laban after many years of work he was recognized all over Europe asa really important person for choreographies, he invented a way and a sort of language where you can interpret, describe, visualize and notate all the ways of the movement of a human.

Thereare four sub-categories in effort:
Space: Direct/Indirect
Weight: Strong/Light
Time: Sudden/Sustained
