	Laban dance centre
		Laban isn't just the award winner of the Stirling Architecture Prize 2003 and the RIBA Building Award 2003, or just the largest purpose-built contemporary dance space in the world, but it's also a heritage that embraces every element of dance and movement.
		The birth of the Laban centre in the UK began in Manchester in 1938 and moved to Surrey in 1953; it was here that Laban expanded his work to form the basis for the expressive movement training of actors.
		Today, Laban boasts a plethora of diplomas, BA, MA and Research Degree programmes in choreography, teaching dance, performance workshops, classical, alternative and contemporary dance, dance science and dance health amongst many.

		Seeking to dispel these preconceptions, whilst putting dance firmly in the 21st century, Laban is a centre for dance training and research in South London.
		Born in Hungary in 1879, Rudolph Laban was a pioneer in developing the academic and scientific aspects of dance.
		Laban's 300 seat theatre is host to many non-dance events, including recently, poet and stand-up John Hegley, a man about as far away from dance as it is possible to be; and the centre's cafe and many of the facilities are open to the public.

	Guardian \| Translucent, shimmering dance centre takes architecture prize
		The Laban dance centre in Deptford, south-east London, is the popular winner of this year's £20,000 Stirling prize for architecture.
		A shimmering, translucent building that changes colour according to the light, the Laban centre is a fine design by a bullet-proof architectural team which has been unable to put a foot wrong since the 1990s.
		The centre includes performance spaces open to the public: the aim from the start was to involve the public with an avant garde minority arts project.

		The design for Laban Creekside is based on the diverse functions and spaces the building houses: a café, offices, a library and thirteen dance studios.
		Laban is one of the leading institutions for contemporary dance training, named after Rudolf Laban (1879-1958) one of the founding figures of European Modern Dance.
		The large, embracing gesture of the Laban building volume gives the effect of creating a spatial limitation as well as a melting together of Laban Garden and Laban Centre.

	Reviews
		Laban (Herzog and de Meuron, in collaboration with visual artist Michael Craig-Martin) is one of the largest purpose-built contemporary dance centres in the world.
		A miracle of architecture in in a run-down part of South-East London, it is an exhilarating place to visit, as beautiful in the styling and finish of its internal spaces as its alluring and inviting exterior suggests.
		The balance between music and dance was perfect, and the unamplified music was not at all upstaged by the bare-foot stamping dancing.

		Laban - of course no self-respecting artistic institution can burden itself with a preposition or descriptive adjunct these days, but what we are talking about is really the Laban Centre for Movement and Dance - is the sort of building that forces a smile.
		It is 30 years since Marion North moved the Laban from leafy Surrey to New Cross, reckoning that something as raw as contemporary dance needed the vitality and challenge of the inner city.
		It is a material not far removed from the cheap cladding of nearby industrial sheds, and on one level the Laban is just a giant shed, but the material and building type are transmuted with that magician's touch so impressive in the best of Herzog and de Meuron's work.

		The centre opened in February 2003 and, as recognition of the architects' great achievement, won the Stirling Architecture Prize for RIBA Building of the Year in October.
		Inside, the building is structured as an urban 'streetscape', a series of corridors, interior courtyards and meeting places, centred round the literal and metaphorical heart of the building, the main theatre space.
		The selection of light-admitting materials, and their special relationship with the internal spaces, was carefully assessed to create a good balance of daylight and electric light, and to ensure that the spaces remain usable all year, with no need for active shading elements.

		Members share a common belief that all sections of the community should have the opportunity to participate in dance and movement, to develop through dance and movement, and to benefit directly or indirectly from Laban's legacy.
		Dance and movement based upon Laban's principles are not aimed at creating a specific style or dance technique, rather his principles of movement allow for the development of physical skill, creativity, and the building of positive relationships.
		The universal nature of Laban's work and its later application in many different fields of human activity have ensured that it is as exciting and relevant today as it has ever been.

	Rudolf von Laban Movement Analysis, - for Actors and Dancers; Labanotation, Choreutics, Dance Concepts, Body, Space, ...
		Mary Wigman, one of his pupils and one of the originators of the modern dance in central Europe, based much of her dramatic choreography on a relationship between individual and space similar to the one Laban postulated in choreutics.
		This is the first major study of Laban's movement theories and practice, exploring the ideas on mastering movement and giving the reader a practical understanding of balance and harmony in the human body--the core of Laban's thinking.
		Labanotation is written on a vertical, three-line staff, with the centre line representing division of the body into left and right halves and the two columns used for symbols indicating means of support and left and right leg gestures.

		The dance studios are pressed up against this external envelope and utilise the exquisite coloured translucency of the walls to separate the plane of the timber floors from the massive ribbed concrete soffits.
		The labyrinthine quality of the internal circulation is dramatised by the high chroma of the wall paint, darkly toned interiors, the interior lightwells and most dramatically, the sculptural gloss fl painted spiral stairs, one at the front the other at the rear.

		Rather than considering the Laban as a shining contrast to its surroundings, it is closer to the architects’ own position to ask whether the Laban offers a more complex and nuanced engagement with its context.
		The Laban, led by Doctor Marion North, well understands how vital it is for the centre to gain the support of its community if it is survive beyond the opening days of press excitement.
		At the Laban, by contrast, the lighting, the connections with the exterior, the scale and the procession through the spaces are handled with assurance and audacity.

		Thanks in no small part to their collaboration with the artist Michael Craig-Martin, the Laban Centre glows gently with rich colours - lime, turquoise, magenta.
		The internal hues of the wedge-shaped corridors in the building are taken up in colour tints in the polycarbonate, so turning the whole place into a gentle kind of beacon.
		Which is highly relevant, because the Laban Centre is nothing if not a beacon, culturally and urbanistically.

		Linkages are a key part of Daniel Cordier's arts centre at the University of Limerick, due to be completed in 2007, to which visitors will arrive by footbridge.
		The building's materials should encourage interaction as well, with Daniel Cordier saying that the solid base will probably be built with tactile brick or stone (the building then rises to a lighter structure of glass and timber, with a zinc roof).
		Daniel Cordier has also tuned into the dance theme at roof level where "a céilí of six roofs generate the energy and spirit by borrowing the imagery of a dance group".

		Herzog and de Meuron's Laban Dance Centre, the worthy winner of the Stirling Prize, was the one building completed this year that carried a real charge of architectural excitement.
		Set on the edge of Deptford Creek in south London, its transparent cladding glowing in the twilight, its studios and corridors alive with young dancers rejoicing in their good fortune, it was a building that captured the imagination of everyone who visited it.
		One of the things that appealed about the Laban was its sense of enigma, its smooth skin giving away little of what went on behind it.
