We are going to transition into German Modern Dance. There are 4 iconic individuals. Rudolf Van Laban, Mary Wigman, Kurt Jooss and Pina Bausch.
Laban developed a dance notation of symbols called Labanotation and a form of communicating effort called Laban Movement Analysis. He also choreographed the opening ceremonies of the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Laban was known more as a teacher/educator verses a performer/choreographer. Both Mary Wigman and Kurt Jooss studied with Laban. He used improvisational exercises and kind of known as nudist as well.
