'As soon as I walked into her studio I felt an immediate calm and an invitation to breathe freely. She is incredibly specific and clear. As an actor I have had a lot of experience with movement and voice coaches, and rarely have I seen someone with as acute an eye as Elizabeth. If you are an Artist seeking creative direction and/or feeling physically imbalanced, or want to become more aware of your body, posture and breath, I highly recommend Elizabeth White. Her kind welcoming spirit works in perfect combination with her skillful teaching and facilitation'. She is a Master of her craft.
Laban (1879-1958) was one of the founders of European Modern Dance, collaborating with Mary Wigman and Kurt Jooss. Born in Austro-Hungary, he spent time in Bosnia, the court circle in Vienna and theatre in Bratislava.
Laban was a movement theoretician, a choreographer, and innovator. His work throughout the 20th Century improved the status of dance.
He established Choreology, invented Labanotation and/or Kinetography, and developed community dance. Laban was a firm believer that dance should be available to everyone, valuing the individual’s choice and freedom of movement.
Throughout his life he experimented, researching pattern, shapes, motion and established a vocabulary of expressive movement in a study of movement flow, with weight, embodying time and space.
He studied architecture at the Ecoles des Beaux Arts in Paris, observing the moving body and its spaces.
