Introduction: Roudolf Laban is the man who created a way in which we can analyze, experience and interpret human movement. He developed the Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) which is a theoretical and experimental take on human movement. (Konie 2011) The LMA helps one to understand one’s body and to use it to its fullest potential. There are four major sub-divisions in the LMA which are body, effort, shape and space (BESS)(Adrian 2008). The following academic review will analyse the body, effort, shape
receiving Miriam for his work ethic. Feld decides he would approve if Sobel would work two more years. Genesis 29 begins with Jacob traveling to Laban. Jacob falls in love with Laban’s daughter, Rachel. Laban and Jacob compile a deal. If Jacob works for him for seven years, Jacob may marry Rachel. However, Laban deceives Jacob and gives him Leah instead. Laban tells Jacob to work for him for another seven years in order to marry Rachel. Jacob did
Allegorizations of the Active and Contemplative Lives in Philo, Origen, Augustine, and Gregory This paper examines the allegorical interpretations given to several Scriptural pairs as they relate to the idea of the active and contemplative lives in Philo, Origen, Augustine, and Gregory. As will be shown, Augustine combines elements found in the two previous writers to form his allegory of the two wives of Jacob as representative of the active and contemplative lives. In Philo, most of the essential
teaching that originates from the 1960’s, 1970’s and 1980’s. Throughout this paper the concepts created by Rudolf Laban will be discussed along with the different methods of teaching involved in Movement Education as well as the movement analysis wheel. Also being explained will be the benefits of Movement Education and its ability to combat childhood obesity. Created by Rudolf Laban, the Laban Movement Analysis is comprised of four main categories: body, space, effort and relationships as the main concepts
From the moment we are born, we are bound to use facial expressions, make a wide range of sounds, and use distance and gestures as a way to communicate our emotions and feelings toward certain situations, activity, and people on a daily basis. Nonverbal communication is the foundation of how we send and receive messages through visual cues and wordless interactions between people. It is a basic language we are born with and have all come to learn within the primary stages of life. It is also used
conquer for the dance the field of literal and linguistic expression in order to gain deserving and very necessary understanding, in as wide a circle as possible, gave me the determination to carry out this difficult thankless task’’ Laban. 1920 p.1 This quote by Laban suggests that his main aim was to develop the dance industry regardless of the reception it got from audiences, as though he was doing this for his own love and investigation rather than to create the revolution that is did.
with Leah and still complained to Laban that he had been tricked. Diamant makes Jacob appear to be more of a gentleman than the Bible does, and thus, a more likeable main character in her novel. In The Red Tent, Diamant created people not mentioned in the Torah. One such person was Ruti, Laban’s last wife. Laban beat Ruti badly and frequently for no apparent reason. In Diamant’s book, Ruti’s fairly small role serves as a clear reason for the reader to dislike Laban. Until Ruti is introduced, besides
flock after overcoming an obstacle, followed by father inviting the man to stay and then the man eventually marrying the woman. Hamilton refers to the person in the scene as the hero (or his representative). Jacob’s first encounter with Rachel and Laban parallels the encounter of Abraham’s servant with Rebekah (24:10-33). “The two Genesis stories contain the further parallels that the strange land is in fact the land of the father (or his ancestors). And that the young lady who comes to draw water
themselves but sometimes their loved ones as well. This is a contradiction to God’s purpose for women. There are many examples of deception in Genesis, but I am going to concentrate on the stories of Adam and Eve, Rebekah and Isaac, and Rachel and Laban. Eve is the first women created in Genesis. She serves as a model for all women in Genesis, however not a very respectable one. Eve was supposedly deceived by the serpent. I disagree, Eve knew she was not supposed to eat from tree in the middle of
A Biography of Jacob -For purposes of simplicity, I will refer to Jacob and Israel both as Jacob. -For purposes of point of view, nearly all of this paper is from Jacob’s point of view, only bringing in other events necessary for this to make sense that happened without Jacob seeing. Jacob is the father of Israel, for his twelve children each gave life to an entire tribe of Israelites. He wasn’t always pious, sometimes being even blasphemous, but apparently, he always walked with god,

She name’s him Joseph, which means may he add. “May the Lord add to me another son (Gen 30:24b NIV).” In the meantime, Jacob has other problems. His relationship with Laban is deteriorating. Constantly changing the rules, Laban constantly tries to trick Jacob out of wealth he rightly earned. Indifferent to leaving their childhood home, Rachel and Leah plan an escape when Laban’s gone. but not before Rachel steals her father’s idols. Although
short life of isolation and unhappiness. Her father was an “industrious Irish clergyman” who had been born in Ireland on March 17, 1777. He was a teacher and graduated from Cambridge with a Bachelor of Arts degree before being “ordained to curacies” (Laban). Her mother, Maria Bronte, was a Cornish merchant’s daughter. Emily Bronte was born at Thornton in a parish in July of 1818. The family only stayed there for two years, moving to Haworth, a small village on the moors of West Riding, Yorkshire, in
God interacts with the world in a very unique way. He works by using people as conduits with whom He will ultimately achieve His goal of the Divine Plan. Throughout the Book of Genesis, many cycles of protagonists appear with whom God chooses to interact. In one such cycle, the Jacob Cycle, God influences, molds, and guides Jacob in increasingly personal ways. God influences Jacob throughout his childhood, his journey to Haran, his journey from Haran, and finally, with one last test of will. Throughout
Without the persistence of Jacob, there would be no Joseph, there would have been famine in Egypt, the Bible would not play out has it had. Before Jacob received a blessing to wed Rachel, he slaved over the sheep of Laban for seven continuous years. We observe in these verses that when Laban offered a wage and all Jacob asked of him was to marry Rachel. In the days of Jacob, in order to marry,
language of action that shows how skills for everyday activities can be more effective, efficient, and expressive if correct movement patterns have been developed. The early pioneers of movement education Francois Delsarte, Liselott Diem, and Rudolf von Laban helped push the importance of movement education in Physical education. What they all had in common was this idea that the body was an instrument being an expression and the way it is expressing is through movement. Movement education is something
The Book of Genesis has served as a work of literature to the western civilization for the past two-thousand years. The word Genesis simply means “origins” or “beginnings”. This book sets the stage for the bible, telling us of God’s ultimate plan for humanity. It also speaks about the nature of God as creator and redeemer as well as the value of human life. Consequences for disobedience and sin are shown; separating man from God. We will also see the promise of salvation and forgiveness of man due
Jacob Jacob, the second and more prominent son of Isaac, is one of three aptly named Patriarchs of the Hebrew Bible. Much like his father and grandfather, Jacob earns the right to be known as one of God’s chosen men by being one whose “descendants shall be as the dust of the earth“ (Gen 28:14). Despite this, Jacob is a truly a flawed human being. While he is able to overcome these flaws to become the patriarch of the Israelite people, and receive a portion of the covenant God had promised to

Throughout the semester, we have intensively studied how computer science relates to the world around us, through video games, database systems, and artificial intelligence. But what we have not discussed is how all of these subjects in computer science, like pep8, pseudo code, gates and circuits, relate to our artistic world; dance, music, and live theatre. Listening to a piece of music, or as an audience member watching a dance or theatre performance, one assumes that the entire production, stemmed
