The Laban/Bartenieff Movement Studies are interesting for all those who work with movement. 

Based on the Laban MOVEMENT ANALYSIS and the BODYWORK of Irmgard Bartenieff, they are constantly evolving.

They are a system and vocabulary to describe, embody and convey movement precisely and clearly.

The Laban/Bartenieff Movement Studies have their own notation system: the motif writing.

Every movement contains the following categories :

• BODY
• EFFORT
• SPACE
• SHAPE
• RELATIONSHIP
• PHRASING
