Laban Movement Efforts

[@SJHoover]

The way you give examples, repeat main terms, and encourage your students - even when we're not present with you - really excellent teaching! Thank you!

[@retroking8841]

The perfect lesson on Laban's 8 Efforts done in 6 and half minutes! Impressive!

[@cristo3214]

As a non-dancer academic trying to understand Laban, especially "Flow": THANKS!!!

[@vickygabriel6085]

Perfectly done. The first dancer I have seen who really does them correctly and easily distinguishable from each other. Thank you very much!

[@HamzaAli-Rajput]

LMA have always been confused me and it's been year now that I didn't dare to go and read more about it. Luckily my course convener shared your link with me and it all made absolute sense to me. I feel so much in awareness of how my clients and I've been moving since last year as dance movement psychotherapist trainee.

[@TonjuAnik]

Yes! I have been looking for this kind of guide since college. Thank you!

[@anagd6941]

I just took an intensive workshop of this technique. The way you explain & demonstrate the working actions here is extremely helpful in better understanding Yat’s approach. Thank you so much for uploading this!

[@michelledillman6381]

Omg ! I remember this from my effort/shape class in college ! One of my favorite classes!

[@tomtlrech1392]

Thank you! I'm writing my first essay for the first dance class I've ever taken in college, and this has really helped clarify what the heck my teacher was talking about :P

Thank you for the explanations. I had forgotten this from college.

[@KimFenger]

You are GREAT! Thank you

[@maheshdattani95]

Quite simply the best explanation of the four components and eight efforts. Your charts are amazing. And having you demonstrate each effort in front of your chart gives us all the information we need. I am sharing your video link with my students. Thank you, Tehya.

[@HeavenestStCyr]

Thank you so much! Great explanation and examples!

[@dylankelly1715]

We're using Laban movement efforts for music ensemble conducting. It's really blowing my mind how universally these efforts can be used! Dance, theatre, conducting, ... wow!!!

[@SilianaChi]

How are you using them for ensemble conducting? I am using them for teaching piano :)

[@hanneliejonas9021]

Thank you for your very clear explanation - it is very helpful. Also...you move beautifully and demonstrated a good variety, which helped with my understanding of the efforts.

[@safi133]

[@lanceypants9]

Very good demonstrations of a very complex topic. Well done.

[@inhalebriiex]

[@leedog7786]

Thank you so much. I needed to learn this for my Sports coaching class on our subject of sports science.

[@juliannoel5715]

Beautifully done. Thank you. Elegant teaching.

[@LucariosOnlyFan]

Heavy is the negative of weight. Weight is strong or light. All the motion factors have negatives. You can read further into this by researching Yat’s extension of Laban Movement Psychology

[@tennesseeonruang9600]

Does this concept fall under psychology? If yes, which branch of psychology specifically?

Thank you so much you helped me with my dance project 😇

[@dkblack3461]

Thank you so much. So helpful!

[@tennesseeonruang9600]

Under what academic discipline does this concept fall? Rudolf just blows my mind!

[@hlhath96]

Thank you so so much! Very useful with my high school students!

[@SebastianPerez-ct5jb]

A great video :) thanks

[@Dchester819]

This was great. Your examples of the movements will help my daughter with her choreography for Dance. Where is this studio? I think she would learn a lot from someone like you. Very clear and precise explanations. Great Video!!

[@patriciatmckenzie]

Nicely done!!

[@saschaforeal3009]

If you had the whiteboard behind the camera we would think you knew it all

[@carollund8251]

Excellent explanation!

[@liannagonzales4654]

great job and demonstration

[@soulfuljourney916]

This was helpful in studying for my quiz today. Thank you.

[@loszhor]

Thank you for the information.

[@checkmate238]

Beautiful thank you!

[@CarolineBellaMusic]

Fantastic thank you 🙏 x

[@susankennedy5739]

These are actually the Effort Action Drives, and is part of the larger study of Effort. They are frequently mis-described and just "efforts." Also, "heavy" is not an expression of energy, it's a reaction to gravity. It's better to say "strong" or "firm touch."

[@davidmiera942]

Yes this is so. I thought Punch's flow was free, though (not bound). And that Flow for Glide was bound (not free). Here in this video it's the contrary of what I thought. Could you also clarify on that please? Was I confused, or is this video wrong? Thank you very much in advance if you read this and are so kind to answer

[@cynguzman]

Thank you so much🙌🏾

[@NaNaPiano]

amazing! Thank you

[@dial3ctic289]

Sooo cool!!!

[@danieladellisola1230]

Good demonstration, thanks

[@NanMarieZosel]

Hi Tehya - this is so well done. Would it be ok to use in a classroom setting? I teach phy ed to young people and also coach adults occasionally.

[@rosawhitcher5858]

well done. very helpful!

[@christophermichael9402]

Thank you for this video! I use it with all my students. I wondering if anyone who knows how to make gifs would make some for each effort action.

[@embodiedconducting]

The proper terms for Weight Effort are Strong and lLight. You can substitute firm for strong if you like, but heavy is NOT a quality of weight. Rather it is associated weight sensing or passive weight.

Martial Arts Notation is more simple, more readable, more useful ...it's time specific and writable! The innovation consists in it not insisting on specifying the details of a move an artist should already know. It thus gives the artist freedom of interpretation. Via the innovation of applying the percussive full stroke to movement notation, it cuts out excessive symbolism. The symbols are notes not a myriad of pictograms! No need to re invent the wheel... simply bring the wheel to the cart! M.S.
