I have to say that wikipedia has been the most helpful website in my search so far. I am trying to look for information on how Laban's Movement Principles can be incorporated into a drama scene and I can't believe how little information there is on the subject on the internet. The only thing I can find on the Principles is what they are and a bit on the flow and space used. As I have never really come across the Laban Principles before it would be good to find something that would tell me how I could use them, but there's nothing! I looked at the library too and there's still nothing! I think somebody who know's what they are talking about needs to create a website to help various unenlightened people such as me. At least I have a little information from wikipedia.

[edit] Added a lot of information

I am finishing a certification program in Laban Movement Studies at Integrated Movement Studies in Utah. As a result, my information on LMA is from that Laban/Bartenieff perspective. I've tried to be as general and objective as possible, but I don't have a lot of information on what other branches of the tradition teach. I would welcome other perspectives and help to clarify which parts of the system are taught by which groups, and what is the core of LMA, as opposed to the larger curriculum that I have been taught.

[edit] Merge Proposal

I think the article Labanotation should be merged into this one. --DoSiDo 02:34, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Merge Labanotation should redirect to the section on this page title "Labanotation". There is a lot of duplicate material. It isn't about space. A user would waste time reading both article to find anything NOT duplicated or would miss such material because it would be buried in all the duplicate material.

[edit] Anatomy and Kinesiology

The lead suggests that there will be a section of Anatomy and Kinesiology. Where is it? DCDuring 18:48, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Organization problem

Laban Movement Analysis, the article, seems to include itself as a section. Does this article have the right title? If it is moved, the old name will redirect to the new one, so no on will be lost. DCDuring 18:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
