First sentence: Laban much preferred the word 'crystals' to 'solids', not only because it sounded more poetic but because the image of a transparent crystal lends itself more readily to the idea of stepping inside it and moving around in its space.
Description: Rudolf Laban was one of the great theorists and practitioners of movement. In Laban for All, expert teachers of Laban's techniques offer simplified version of his system that can be used by anyone, from beginners to pros. Extensively illustrated with John Dalby's line drawings and diagrams, Laban for All lays out the basic vocabulary of the Laban system and goes on to offer specific exercises. The result is a thorough--and thoroughly practical--grounding in the most important movement system in use today.--From publisher description.
