It's hard for me to describe the difference between Floating and Gilding. Good video though

This is one of the most beautifully made instructional videos I've ever seen. I wish all instructional videos were made this way. Everything I needed to know about this thing with no wasted time at all.

What a very good demonstration - so clear in both voice and physicality. Thank you.

Glide tends to be especially irritating to me. I interpret it as self-entitlement, the will to appear supercilious and above the audience. If someone else has these associations, I would be delighted to know. The demonstration was excellent, though, especially as it involves such subtle distinctions.

Thanks for this!

You went hard on this. 😅🔥

Amazing!

Perfect!

very helpful thanks a lot!

This was so helpful! Thank you for your demonstration.

I'm studying a degree in Drama and we went through this last week. This video as made it more easier for me to understand. Thanks

Its the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you, thank you, thank you. again. I have watched and shared this so many times.

that was amazing thank you !!!

Great information and acting. Thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you! I was looking for some gliding, wringing, slashing, and punching examples since the video I learned about these from only demonstrated the other four. Glad to finish my list!! :) (Heard about Laban's efforts from "How To Create 100 Distinctly Different Voices" ruclips.net/video/FVmAEezr6ao/видео.html)

This was brilliant! Currently learning about the effort's in my acting classes

that was epic

Very good indeed

Very veryyyyyyyy useful

thank you David! this was very helpful as a VCE theatre student

So brilliant! Well done

It's great to see an actor apply the Effort Action Drives (not "Efforts") to dramatic expression, which was Laban's original intent. Your spatial intent was not always clear and as a result your Glide looked like Float, and your Float was not sustained and looked like Flick. Your Wring was not indirect and looked like Press, and Dab needed to be lighter, but the rest seemed clearer. One thing you did, consciously or not, was to demonstrate the higher application of the Effort Action Drives: to combine the Drives. This is the natural way to move, people don't go around just flicking or wringing to the exclusion of other drives. It's great that you are exploring this with your drama students!

Brilliant. Thank you so much for this.

float wasn't sustained enough IMO but good job

Hello, I just wanted to say that I have no formal experience with any form of acting but as a DM I've been really trying to step up my game, so to speak. I just discovered the existence of the Laban Chart maybe a day ago, and this video really helped me understand a lot more about it. Thank you!

This is great! Thanks! I'm learning how to do more voices for D&D

Brilliant! Do you have a video on the three variables of each effort? Ex. Light + direct + sudden?

For reference, here are the relevant timestamps. 0:30 Glide 0:50 Punch 1:12 Float 1:33 Wring 1:54 Press 2:12 Slash 2:28 Dab 2:44 Flick 2:56 Glide again

Thank you!

AMAZING!! thank you so much!!

Thank you sir! This is so helpful, I love how every effort took a different character when approaching these lines :D Amazing!

This is so helpful thank you!

fabulous, used this as part of my lesson plan for choreography class, helped A LOT, thank you!

Took my first acting lesson and we looked at the Laban technique. This was suuuuper helpful seeing it performed through actual script. Thank you!

This was Excellent! I just took a class on the physical Laban techniques from Oral Storyteller Katie Knutson, who recommended your video as a noteworthy example of the verbal utilization. I'm so glad she did. Well done!

Superb presentation! Thank you!

Very helpful, thank you!!

Nice!
