Figures: Rudolf Laban
No full textThis essay considers Rudolf Laban (1879–1958) as a performance philosopher. Best known for his work as a dancer, dance theorist, teacher and as the ‘founding Father’ of European modern dance, the chapter argues that Laban also made a significant contribution to our understanding of dance and movement as philosophy through his notions of ‘movement-thinking’ and choreosophy. If a performance philosopher is someone who seeks to interrogate the very divides between performance and philosophy; theory and practice; body and mind; thinking and doing, then Laban’s entire oeuvre can be seen as a pursuit of these ideals. However, the essay also considers the collective knowledge produced in and by Laban’s dancers, who perform “his” philosophy in their own, embodied ways

The Way of Transformation (The Laban-Malmgren System of Dramatic Character Analysis)
Get PDFThe dissertation is a 'critical edition' of a system of actor training based on three main sources: a vocabulary of movement analysis developed by Rudolf Laban in the last years of his life; C. G. Jung's theory of psychological functions and types; and the acting system of C. Stanislavski and his main followers. The three strands were brought together by the dancer and acting teacher Yat Malmgren (1916-2002), who taught his system for over forty years to some of the major figures of world theatre and film: Peter Brook, Pierce Brosnan, Simon Callow, Sean Connery, Anthony Hopkins, Adrian Noble among others.
The dissertation is presented in two volumes:
- Volume I sets the system in context, historically as well as in terms of current discourses about the nature of acting. It includes a survey of its origins, followed by an in-depth examination of its three main sources, focusing on the central concept of energy in acting. Further chapters describe:
a. a systematic, step-by-step psychophysical approach to analysing character, the actor's own self and to ways of bridging the two in the process of transformation. The author captures the salient features of a method of work which informs aspects of Western acting practice.
b. the light thrown by the system on the idea of theatre character. The author puts forward the idea of a character 'independent' of both actor and text.
c. the applications of the system in training and professional practice, based on interviews with a number of prominent British actors and directors.
- Volume II consists of a detailed, annotated description of the system. It is based on a free transcript of recordings of Yat Malmgren's teaching and amounts to a 'manual' for those interested in studying and/or teaching the system. The volume is illustrated throughout.
Appendices include original materials derived from Laban's last years of work, published here for the first time
