Laban
Hungarian modern-dance teacher, inventor of the Labanotation system of dance notation. After studying dance in Paris, he opened his Choreographic Institute in Zurich in 1915 and later founded branches in Italy, France, and central Europe. He worked in Germany 1919-37, and was ballet director of the Berlin State Opera 1930-34. In 1928 he published his method for recording all forms of human motion, which enabled choreographers to record the dancer's steps and other body movements, incl. their rhythm. In 1938 he joined his former pupil K. Jooss teaching dance in England, where he later formed the Art of Movement Studio. His system was further developed and maintained at centers in Essen (Germany) and New York.
