Shakespeare's understanding of performance spaces – particularly that of the Globe - is written into the fabric of his plays. Rudolf Laban's movement practice unlocks the physical expressivity of the performer. This book uses Laban's practice to explore an exciting physical connection to Shakespeare's plays in performance. It provides an outline of Laban's key concepts and practices, a discussion of how these can expand and deepen our understanding of how Shakespeare's plays use space, time, and movement, and a wealth of practical exercises drawn from Laban's techniques. This handbook will prove invaluable for anyone performing, teaching, studying or simply wanting a new way to enjoy Shakespeare's plays in performance.
