拉班舞谱涵盖了多少“拉班”?

How Much Laban Is There in Labanotation?

安·哈钦森·盖斯特博士是当今拉班舞谱的世界级专家。因为拉班舞谱以鲁道夫·拉班的名字命名,所以人们很难知道现在的舞谱系统中包含了多少拉班的原始概念、理论关联以及历史发展。在本文中,哈钦森·盖斯特博士对拉班舞谱的命名过程、理论发展做了详细的学理性梳理,指出随着时间的演变和实践的需要,拉班舞谱形成了以英国的理德(Leeder)、德国的克鲁斯特(Knust)和美国的舞谱局(DBN)为代表的三个重要分支。论文深入分析了三个分支对拉班舞谱系统所做的关键改变、发展和贡献,也比较了拉班的空间和谐(Choreutics)理论和拉班舞谱在分析方面的差异。此外,她还说明了国际拉班舞谱学会的建立过程以及在新的符号和用法方面的指导作用。论文也指出,尽管拉班研究奠定了动作研究和记录的基础,但也有一定的局限,还有许多可能性需要后人的探索。

Dr.Ann Hutchinson Guest is a world-leading expert in Labanotation,a notation system recording movement.Because Labanotation bears Rudolf Laban’s name,people have difficulty determining how much of the present-day system contains his original ideas,or connects to his wider theories,and its theory development since his time.In this paper,Dr.Hutchinson Guest lists the key changes in Labanotation,and charts its development thanks to the contributions of Sigurd Leeder,Albrecht Knust,and the Dance Notation Bureau—the three most instrumental modifiers of the system.The theory evolves over time and through the practical needs.She compares the differences in analysis between Choreutics and Labanotation.In addition,she explains the establishment of the International Council of Kinetography Laban/Labanotation to guide new symbols and usages.In conclusion,Laban’s contribution to movement studies has enriched the field of movement.Nevertheless,Laban’s research did not go far enough and there are still possibilities waiting to be explored.
