''Beyond Dance: Laban's Legacy of Movement Analysis'' offers students of dance and movement, a brief introduction to the life and work of Rudolf Laban, and how this work has been extended into the fields of movement therapy, communications, early childhood development, and other fields. Rudolf Laban's landmark system of movement analysis has been applied to dance movement through both Labanotation (his system of writing down movement) and also through ''effort-shape analysis,'' a system that was developed out of Laban's work by his followers to better understand how movement occurs. Laban's followers-notably, Warren Lamb, used this as a basis to study movement in a broader context, from how to make work more efficient in agriculture and industry to how to better communicate through body movement and gesture. ''Beyond Dance: Laban's Legacy of Movement Analysis'' offers a concise introduction to this world. Refreshingly free of jargon and easy to understand, the work offers dance students and others interested in human movement - a full picture of the many possibilities inherent in Laban's theories.
