Rudolf Laban Collections
Special Collections has two archives of material related to the choreographer, teacher, and educator Rudolf Laban (1879–1958).
Laban was born in Bratislava in 1879, and from 1910 to 1936 he taught and researched movement and dance in Switzerland and Germany.
After one of his dance works was banned under the Nazi regime, Laban escaped Germany in 1938 and spent his last twenty years in England and Wales. Laban no longer worked as a choreographer but continued his teaching and research into dance and movement. With industrialists, he pioneered a new approach to working in factories based on his ideas of movement.
His work laid the foundations for Laban Movement Analysis and Labanotation.
