Sui Ming Chu (Hong Kong) "Dynamic in action, meeting the mind of Dalcroze and Laban"
A VDM Masterclass
Both Dalcroze and Laban are interested in expressivity, one in music and the other in dance. After Laban met Dalcroze and saw his work in 1912. He said “It was an experience that will play a part in my own development” (Perrottet 93). It is fascinating to see how Dalcroze’s thought continues into Laban’s work and at the same time how Laban’s work could contribute back into the work of Dalcroze. This workshop is an attempt to integrate Laban’s movement concept of how emotions were expressed and communicated through the rhythmic use of the human body and its application into eurhythmics training, ultimately how it helps our creativity and expressivity.
Masterclass #6 was originally given on October 3/4, 2020.
Eurhythmics: movement exploration, Laban movement analysis & application, power of imagination as movement inspiration
