ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to explore the role and future prospects of Laban movement analysis (LMA) method, which is the most representative evaluation tool in dance movement therapy. For a successful treatment, therapists’ movement assessment and evaluation are required in advance. Laban movement analysis method plays a crucial role for achieving a professional and objective dance movement therapeutic process by observing movements, recording them functionally and then providing interpretable vocabulary based on them. By using Laban movement analysis method, a dance therapist using movement expressions for psychological therapy can recognize and record the course of the flow in movements. In this respect, LMA is an important tool to plan the treatment purpose and discuss diagnostic characteristics of patients.
