"Laban is named after Rudolf Laban, "

　

"He was a choreographer movement theorist, and a dancer".

　



　

"Laban categorized the movements of humans into four different parts":

Direction Weight Speed Flow





　

　
"Direction is either direct or indirect". "Weight is either heavy or light." "Speed is either quick or sustained"




　

"Flow is either bound or free."
　
Laban then put these parts together to create The 8 Efforts:
