ABSTRACT:
János Fügedi’s voluminous 2023 publication exemplifies his deep understanding of the theoretical basis of the movement documentation system most often known in English as Kinetography Laban or Labanotation, extensive practical experience in notating dances, meticulous research, and clarity in organizing and teaching complex material. These attributes make the book an invaluable contribution to seeing, analyzing, and communicating about movement in ways that can be used in many approaches to dance studies as well as to research that engages with dance through the lenses of other disciplines and dances from locales other than Hungary.
