The Laban Movement Analysis

Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) is a system that studies and describes how people move. It looks at different aspects of movement, such as direction, speed, effort, and body placement, to understand the qualities and intentions behind actions. Used in dance, theater, therapy, and sports, LMA helps improve movement awareness, communication, and performance. It provides a language and framework for observing and influencing movement patterns, making it easier to analyze why movements happen and how they can be changed or enhanced for specific goals.
