Laban movement

Looking at Laban Movements for my character Demetrius I found helpful in finding the correct movements. The Laban Movements consist of combining direction, weight and speed. Direction is direct or indirect, weight is heavy or light and speed is sustained or sudden as the diagram below shows. During our piece we use the slashing movement during the fly scene.


I feel like my character is a light character as he is very sneaky, most of the movements i use are sustained so that leaves me with float or glide. I feel as though Demetrius would be better as glide as the way i move is very swift but now delicate.

I will further use the laban movements during rehearsal to find more character and develop movement.
