Icosahedron from Three Golden Rectangles

The Laban Icosahedron is one of the most renowned physical structures in dance. It is named after Rudolf Laban (1879-1958), who applied the five regular 3D objects to “harmonic” movement sequences, names “scales”.

The Icosahedron, upon which Laban bases his scales of movement, has been used in choreography as a framework for dance routines for many decades.

Along with this small icosahedron with three golden rectangles, this exhibition also features a sculpture of a life-size icosahedron with live dance performance inspired by Laban movement analysis, with the Icosahedron forms the focal point of the piece, with performers explore the underlying principles of movement​​​​​​​.
