(An informal monthly-ish gathering focused on Laban Movement Analysis. Attending: Peggy Hackney, Lisa Wymore, Brenton Cheng.)
Highlights:
- What is it possible to detect using motion capture technology? What limits are imposed by the technology? What limits are imposed by the LMA system itself? As noted before, it is difficult to capture Weight Effort and Space Effort.
- How is Strong Effort conveyed? Is it through a force which is actually applied, suggesting that you can’t actually manifest Strong Effort unless you have something to push (or pull) against? Or is it a *potential* for a force to be applied, such as a person pulsing with rage who is poised to act with all their might?
