I've always felt that effort especially was simple and logical and understandable and not all that serious! Thank you, Cheryl. I've pared this down and will use it (with attribution) this fall with my high school juniors. It is so great to hear a take on Laban that has some humor.

Regarding repetitive motions… just was this in a piece from The Atlantic (June ’06):

“Management theory came to life in 1899 with a simple question: “How many tons of pig iron bars can a worker load onto a rail car in the course of a working day?” The man behind this question was Frederick Winslow Taylor, the author of The Principles of Scientific Management and, by most accounts, the founding father of the whole management business.”

I feel as though each of us could make more of a connection to ourselves physically, mentally, and spiritually if we analyze ourselves with the thought that: "repetitive motions can result in muscle dysfunction unless they are balanced with opposite muscle movements." Thank you for the chance to break the surface into the world of Laban movement. This was a very well written, and informative way to describe the methods of Laban.

I find that our undergraduates have difficulty making the transfer of effort factors to their work--their own choreographic work might be an important connection for them.
