Laban’s Diagonal Scale

This is a recreation of a movement scale, much like music scales, a movement scale is a way to practice and experience movement within and through our personal space as well as along the periphery.

This scale is called “the diagonal scale”. It is a scale following a sequence along the 8 corners of a cube. The dimensional cross within the cube is structured in such a way that it illustrates the nature of time, weight and space.

This scale is invented by Rudolf Laban (1879-1958), who was a master of movement.
