Labanotation, also known as Kinetography Laban, is a system for documenting human movement, particularly in dance. Developed by Rudolf Laban in the early 20th century, it uses symbols to represent various aspects of movement, such as direction, duration, and dynamics. This notation allows for the analysis, preservation, and reproduction of choreographic works, making it a valuable tool for dancers, choreographers, and researchers in the field of movement.
