1. On Motion Analysis: Understanding Movement Yunyu Wang Professor Drama and Dance Colorado College

2. How Do We Read Movement  Labanotation  Laban Movement Analysis

3. Labanotation  Body  Time  Level  Direction Directions Sample of Labanotation – total 9 music counts movement Yunyu Wang Body Parts

4. Laban Movement Analysis/LMA  Body  Effort  Shape  Space Harmony

5. Body – 6 Human Development Patterns  breath  head-tail  body half – upper and lower  body half – left and right  diagonal  core

6. 8 Efforts Flow Effort ： Free ( 輕鬆流暢，肌肉放鬆 ) Bound ( 拘束，拘謹，隨時可停止 ) Space Effort ： Direct ( 動作目標明確 ) Indirect ( 間接的，可隨時轉移方向 ) Weight Effort ： Strong ( 撞擊有力勁道強 ) Light ( 纖細，輕如空氣 ) Time Effort ： Sudden ( 急速，匆忙，突然的 ) Sustain ( 悠閒，從容，繼續的 )

7. 3 Shape Shape Flow Directional Shaping

8. Space Harmony  The Body Kinesphere – near, mid.,far  6 points in body space – up/down, side, front/back  two-dimensional – door, wheel, table  Octahedron, cube, icosahedrons, tetrahedron  scales: steeples, volutes, A, B, peripheral/transverse 3-rings, axis, primary, girdle, etc …
