Four Adaptations of Effort Theory in Research and Teaching by Irmgard Bartenieff, Martha Davis, and Forrestine Paulay.
Cecily Dell in the introduction stated:
“The four essays were originally lectures given in a seminar at the Dance Notation Bureau in 1968. The authors collaborated in forming the first training program in Effort-Shape in the United States in 1965. They have since become researchers and teachers in more specialized applications of Effort-Shape, and these essays reflect their current work.
The first essay explores the roots of Effort-Shape in Laban’s early writings, while the second examines the theory in terms of its logic and consistency for scientific investigation. The other two essays describe particular applications of Effort-Shape: one in movement training and re-training, and the other in cross-cultural movement research (choreometrics).”
