A handbook, complete with graded exercises, for teachers and students wanting a practical introduction to Laban's famous system of movement. Rudolf Laban is to movement what Stanislavski is to acting. He devised the first wholly successful system for recording human movement, a system which is increasingly influential in the training of actors and dancers. 'Required reading for every young student of the theatre - and a lot of the older ones would reap enormous benefit from it' Murray Melvin

Jean Newlove (1923-2017) was Rudolf Laban's first assistant when he came to England. She subsequently became movement teacher to Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop and trained several generations of performers. A serious student of dance from childhood, she was auditioned by Laban at Dartington Hall and was offered the post as his personal assistant. Initially she worked with Laban and F.C. Lawrence (design engineer and factory consultant), pioneering 'Laban Lawrence Industrial Rhythm' in factories. This improved the movement of women workers in the war effort, increasing their output considerably. These workers also included land-girls, forestry corps and textile workers. She also introduced Laban's 'modern dance' to the A.T.S. Jean helped Lisa Ullmann establish teachers' classes in modern educational dance before the Art of Movement Studio opened in Manchester in 1946, and ran drama courses on her own account. Joan Littlewood asked Laban to recommend a dancer/choreographer to train a young company called Theatre Workshop. Jean joined the company - eventually marrying its co-founder, the playwright Ewan MacColl. During a long working life time, Jean worked with the Royal Shakespeare Company, gave masterclasses for actors at RADA and Bristol Old Vic, and for dancers and actors in Havana, Cuba. She introduced Laban classes to actors in companies in Sweden and Czechoslovakia whilst on tour with Theatre Workshop. Her own dance group visited Warsaw and Moscow. In addition she worked with actors in San Francisco, ran many courses in Europe, directing musicals and plays for young people. She is the author of Laban for Actors and Dancers and Laban for All.
