The way you give examples, repeat main terms, and encourage your students - even when we're not present with you - really excellent teaching! Thank you!
LMA have always been confused me and it's been year now that I didn't dare to go and read more about it. Luckily my course convener shared your link with me and it all made absolute sense to me. I feel so much in awareness of how my clients and I've been moving since last year as dance movement psychotherapist trainee.
I just took an intensive workshop of this technique. The way you explain & demonstrate the working actions here is extremely helpful in better understanding Yat’s approach. Thank you so much for uploading this!
Quite simply the best explanation of the four components and eight efforts. Your charts are amazing. And having you demonstrate each effort in front of your chart gives us all the information we need. I am sharing your video link with my students. Thank you, Tehya.
Thank you for your very clear explanation - it is very helpful. Also...you move beautifully and demonstrated a good variety, which helped with my understanding of the efforts.
Tehya! I was prepping for a class and your video was the first thing that popped up for me. Wonderful video and a delightful surprise to see this! Hope you’re well!!
We're using Laban movement efforts for music ensemble conducting. It's really blowing my mind how universally these efforts can be used! Dance, theatre, conducting, ... wow!!!
I am a student taking History of Dance, Tehya your explanations are so helpful and to see the movements with the terms explained was awesome! Thank you, please keep it up!
Thank you! I'm writing my first essay for the first dance class I've ever taken in college, and this has really helped clarify what the heck my teacher was talking about :P
Heavy is the negative of weight. Weight is strong or light. All the motion factors have negatives. You can read further into this by researching Yat’s extension of Laban Movement Psychology
This was great. Your examples of the movements will help my daughter with her choreography for Dance. Where is this studio? I think she would learn a lot from someone like you. Very clear and precise explanations. Great Video!!
These are actually the Effort Action Drives, and is part of the larger study of Effort. They are frequently mis-described and just "efforts." Also, "heavy" is not an expression of energy, it's a reaction to gravity. It's better to say "strong" or "firm touch."
Yes this is so. I thought Punch's flow was free, though (not bound). And that Flow for Glide was bound (not free). Here in this video it's the contrary of what I thought. Could you also clarify on that please? Was I confused, or is this video wrong? Thank you very much in advance if you read this and are so kind to answer
The proper terms for Weight Effort are Strong and lLight. You can substitute firm for strong if you like, but heavy is NOT a quality of weight. Rather it is associated weight sensing or passive weight.
Martial Arts Notation is more simple, more readable, more useful ...it's time specific and writable! The innovation consists in it not insisting on specifying the details of a move an artist should already know. It thus gives the artist freedom of interpretation. Via the innovation of applying the percussive full stroke to movement notation, it cuts out excessive symbolism. The symbols are notes not a myriad of pictograms! No need to re invent the wheel... simply bring the wheel to the cart! M.S.
