LIVING ARCHITECTURE

RUDOLF LABAN and the GEOMETRY OF DANCE

Living Architecture presents for the first time, Laban’s space harmony dance material, its geometric basis and the spiritual philosophy that is embedded in it.

…“Working in Munich and Monte Verità Laban forged his praxis of Space Harmony - a range of spatial exercises analogous to musical scales, which flowed in and around the structures of such geometric forms as the cube and the octahedron.

Inspired by the spiritual philosophies of Plato and Pythagoras and influences by his studies of Architecture at the Academy des Beaux Arts, Laban’s construction of space Harmony - his mapping of the dancer’s space in flowing dance forms - resonates with the principle of Sacred Geometry and Sacred Architecture.

...Laban was not alone is his quest to embody the spiritual in art. Such themes and traces also appears in the works of Kandinsky, Debussy, Schoenberg, Mondrian, Duchamps and many others.”
