In this small volume Warren Lamb defines the basic concepts underpinning Movement Pattern Analysis. Starting with the decision-making process, the posture-gesture merger and the Effort/Shape Framework, he describes how each concept grew out of the teachings of Rudolf Laban and was refined in the course of being applied in the field. These concepts form the distillation of Warren Lamb’s life’s work. Drawings by Steve Hurst, diagrams and charts illustrate the text.
