Description:
The Laban Centre London is one of the most renowned dance schools in Europe. Techniques taught include the following: Graham, Merce Cunningham, Limon, and release techniques. Laban seeks to train well-rounded dancers, not just performers, and students may choose from a wide variety of classes such as dance therapy, setting, staging, lighting, and costuming. Visiting professors from the Martha Graham School have included Janet Kaylo, Jodi Faulk, and Diane Vivona. Students may no longer take academic classes from City University or any other college while studying at Laban through ISA-Butler. In addition, students may not attend Laban for the Spring term only. However, students may study for the Fall term only or for the entire academic year. Recitals (called sharings in Britian) are often given in the Spring. There is also a sharing just before Christmas.
