PATHWAYS Straight, curved, round, twisted. Also explored in Choreographie are signs for the forms, shapes or designs of movement pathways. Foremost consideration is given to “step-forms” such as notated by Feuillet (Fig. 46).
These categories of pathways were used later in later works (Laban, 1966, p. 83, 1980, p. 33) with a few differences in the exact number of basic forms listed, in some cases giving three, or four, and here as in Feuillet, listing five different forms. Comparable analyses of “body carriage” as being either “pin-like”, “wall-like”, “ball-like”, or “screw-like”, similar with the five step-forms, was also presented (Laban, 1980, p. 63). This was accordingly followed by a variety of taxonomies that have evolved for designs of pathways and shapes such as by Hackney (1998, p. 221) and Preston-Dunlop (1980, pp. 87-92). Path signs. Laban (1926) adapts Feuillet’s step-forms into four “path signs” (p. 102) representing basic designs of pathways by any part of the body (Fig. 47). Several other elaborations of path signs are explored such as more-or-less drawing the design and then placing it in a body cross or linking it to inclination numbers. While some path signs are written more fluidly such as turns and rotations, others are drawn more geometric (Fig. 48).
The practice of path signs in Choreographie has carried on to present-day practice, virtually identical with “design drawing” in Labanotation (Hutchinson, 1983, p. 173) where arrangements of paths can be drawn within a path sign (Fig. 49).
