The Conductor's Gesture: A Practical Application of Rudolf Von Laban's Movement Language
The culmination of almost thirty years of research, writing, and teaching, this important book by James Jordan presents a vision of conducting gesture and technique as a movement language. In this comprehensive resource, Jordan applies the theories of movement education icon Rudolf Laban, as inspired by the pedagogical insights of JordanÃs mentor and teacher Gail B. Poch. Each section is detailed through research, extensive discussion, and suggestions for study.
Dr. JordanÃs pioneering research and writing on this subject will make this seminal volume an indispensible resource for the development of conducting technique and the foundation of many approaches to conducting pedagogy. Specifics of the book include:
Comprehensive summary of LabanÃs theories of movement
Comprehensive survey of research in movement and movement perception
Practical application of LabanÃs ideas to building expressive conducting technique
Sequential skill set sequence for the development of expressive conducting technique
DVD to guide users through Laban movement experiences and applications to conducting technique
Integration of Alexander Technique into Laban for conducting
Extensive application of Laban States and Drives to conducting
A score analysis system that utilizes the theories of Laban applied to score study
Specially designed musical examples for practicing Laban Efforts
Applications to musical examples of Laban principles by both Jordan and Giselle Wyers
Also in this volume are contributions by Giselle Wyers and Meade Andrews. Dr. Wyers explores in depth the application of States and Drives, and makes direct applications to specific works in the choral literature. Dr. Andrews details a sequential curriculum for the practice and development of expressive conducting technique, all demonstrated on the DVD included with this book.
