Laban Movement Analysis provides a language for notating and documenting physical movement—mostly for dance choreography, but in acting as well. Its purpose is to document specific movements in dance. There are three aspects of Laban Movement Analysis that my experience and research tell me have some interesting implications for UX design:
- Effort Actions—which categorize the ways people perform actions and their intentions, based on weight, time, space, and flow
- Body—which connects the structure and physical characteristics of the body in motion and how they interact
- Shape—which describes the ways in which the body changes shape during movement, in relationship to the environment in which motion takes place
