Laban Sculpture: Jumps with Leg Gestures (Polka study)

Each sculpture is inspired and made using Labanotation which is a system for analyzing and recording human movement (notation system), invented by Austro-Hungarian choreographer and dance Rudolf von Laban (1879-1958, a central figure in European modern dance), who developed his notation on movements in the 1920s. I was drawn to the idea of making sculptures that contain a kind of secret code that unlocks a movement or gesture. Each work is a fragment of a hidden dance.
