Abstract

This research project examines the relationship between choreography and dance notator Rudolf Laban's theories of effort. To explore the significance of Laban's effort qualities in movement and choreography this project addresses the question: How do variations in notated qualities of space, weight, time, and flow impact the intention and emotion of choreography? This project explores these elements through interpreting/comparing dance notation scores of the same choreography, learning choreography, and exploring my choreographic and notation processes.
