The Influences of Rudolf Laban.
Foster, John
Rudolf Laban has influenced the introduction and development of modern educational dance as well as general education. Much of the available material concerning Laban is arts oriented; it is concerned with dance as an art form and is not focused towards the educational uses of Laban's ideas. This volume attempts to present materials relevant to the influences that his methods have had on education, in particular, physical education, in schools and colleges of education. Although it is not primarily a biography, much information is presented about Laban himself--a curious and magnetic personality whose life and influence spanned most of the artistic and avante garde movements of this century--and his life and thought are detailed through the eyes of those who knew him. Special reference is drawn to his influences on education in Britain. Three appendixes include: principal correspondence received from Oscar Bienz; other studies of the work of Laban with particular significance for this inquiry; and a list of published works of Rudolf Laban prior to 1938.
