"The astonishing structure of the body and the amazing actions it can perform are some of the greatest miracles of existence. Each phase of movement, every small transference of weight, every single gesture of any part of the body reveals some feature of our inner life.“ - RUDOLF LABAN
LABAN TECHNIQUE – ANIMAL WORK – Little known EASTERN TECHNIQUES
Developing Body Awareness:
Physical training, particularly Laban, allows actors to become more attuned to their bodies. By understanding the dynamics of movement, space, and energy, actors can expand their range of expression, thus deepening their characters’ authenticity. Laban’s techniques help actors gain control over their body, develop coordination, and improve overall body awareness.
Enhancing Presence and Spatial Awareness:
Actors who undergo Laban training are trained to use their physical presence effectively on stage or screen. Exercises focused on body-space relationships are at the core of the Laban technique, which can help actors confidently occupy and interact with their surroundings. This heightened spatial awareness enables performers to adapt and respond instinctively to the performance space, other actors, and props, adding layers of depth to their performances.
Animal work:
Animal work is a wonderful tool for creating a physical life different from our own, and essential work in our quest to create a character. We base our work on animal movements and behavior through detailed observation. We become the animal totally. You will find that you truly become someone other than yourself. Down to the way you lift your foot and scratch your ear.
