Actor Training the Laban Way: An Integrated Approach to Voice, Speech, and Movement
 
by Barbara Adrian

Actor Training the Laban Way offers a groundbreaking approach to physical and vocal movement by applying theories of Rudolf Laban, one of the 20th century’s most important movement theorist. This practical exercise book includes explorations and exercises designed to help imagination and expression blossom, with individual, partner, and group exercises related to:

· Breath Support · Tone · Range · Articulation and Rhythmic Exploration · Dynamic Alignment · Balance · Flexibility · Strength · Stamina · Building Relationships · Expressing Heightened Movements · Revealing Your State of Mind ·

Refine your skills as you revisit and refine each exercise and gradually build your body’s ability to concentrate and learn through movement.

Also built-in are 65 original Illustrations, including 21 anatomy drawings, all in the service of your journey to integration of voice, speech, and movement.

 
Reviews
"This book represents the author's long experience and reflections on how to support actors to trust their inner impulses and become fully present on stage. We in the international Laban community welcome this wonderful contribution to the theory-into-practice canon."--Regina Miranda, CMA, Director of Arts & Culture, Laban/Bartenieff Institute of Movement Studies
 
“This wonderful new book comprehensively aligns voice and speech with Laban's physical clarity. It celebrates the organic journey of the actor with a practical, coherent scheme of work and encourages the creative spirit to push boundaries in finding new ways to express itself.”—Lise Olson, Director of Postgraduate Diploma/MA in Acting, Birmingham School of Acting, United Kingdom

“An innovative approach to voice, speech, and movement that guides the actor from habitual patterns to expanded expressive choices.Great exercises for teachers, too!”—Pamela Prather, Acting Faculty, Yale School of Drama

“This book provides an excellent text to accompany the teaching of Laban technique and philosophy. It contains clear definitions and explanations and many liberating exercises that will increase the actor’s range and casting potential.”—Bonnie Raphael, PhD. Professional Actor Training Program, University of North Carolina
