Um... interesting. I'll definitely have to read this again when the semester starts and I'm taking the class. It was definitely interesting to see all the analysis that people had done on movement... I have to admit to being completely lost in some parts and flabbergasted that people had actually thought about such things...

A good aid to understanding effort-shape and Laban notation.
