<p>Laban was the son of Rudolf Laban Sr. (1843–1907), a military <a href="Governor" title="Governor">governor</a> in <a href="Pressburg" class="mw-redirect" title="Pressburg">Pressburg</a> (Pozsony)<sup id="cite_ref-LRR1_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-LRR1-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and (from 1899) <a href="Field_marshal" title="Field marshal">field marshal</a> in the <a href="Austro-Hungarian_Army" title="Austro-Hungarian Army">Austro-Hungarian Army</a> in the provinces of <a href="Condominium_of_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina" class="mw-redirect" title="Condominium of Bosnia and Herzegovina">Bosnia-Herzegovina</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-MMRL1_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-MMRL1-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and Marie (née Bridling; 1858–1926).<sup id="cite_ref-LRR1_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-LRR1-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1897, Laban senior was ennobled by the Hungarian monarchy in recognition of his military merit and received the nobiliary predicate "de" to his family name (choosing <i>Laban de <a href="V%C3%A1ralja" title="Váralja">Váralja</a></i>; a place name associated with the Laban family), whereupon Laban junior was rightly entitled to use "<a href="Von" title="Von">von</a>" in his family name in the German-speaking world.<sup id="cite_ref-LRR1_2-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-LRR1-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Laban grew up in the courtly circles of <a href="Vienna" title="Vienna">Vienna</a> and <a href="Sarajevo" title="Sarajevo">Sarajevo</a>.
</p><p>At a young age, Laban joined a <a href="Cs%C3%A1rd%C3%A1s" title="Csárdás">csárdás</a> dance group. At age 15 Laban entered the <a href="Theresian_Military_Academy" title="Theresian Military Academy">Theresian Military Academy</a>, but later turned his back on military service. In 1899, Laban moved to <a href="Munich" title="Munich">Munich</a> and began studying at the Academy of Fine Arts (<i>Akademie der bildenden Künste</i>). There Laban met the painter Martha Fricke from <a href="Hanover" title="Hanover">Hanover</a>, whom he married on 15 December 1900. They moved to <i>Arcisstr 44</i>, where their daughter Azraela was born in 1901.
</p><p>Parallel to Laban's studies at the art academy, he took courses at the newly opened teaching and experimental studio for free and applied art (<i>Lehr- und Versuchsatelier für Freie und Angewandte Kunst</i>). There Laban met his future friend Hermann Obrist, who ran the nature studies course. In 1904 Laban decided to leave Munich to visit the most famous art school in Europe, the <a href="%C3%89cole_des_Beaux-Arts" title="École des Beaux-Arts">École des Beaux-Arts</a> in <a href="Paris" title="Paris">Paris</a> to study <a href="Architecture" title="Architecture">architecture</a>.
</p><p>Laban's son, Arpad, was born in Paris in 1905. After three years of a fulfilled <a href="Bohemianism" title="Bohemianism">bohemian lifestyle</a> with his wife, Martha Fricke died suddenly. Barely two months after the death of Laban's wife, his father also died, who had made it possible for Laban to lead an independent life with substantial financial support. From then onwards, Laban's two children grew up with their maternal grandparents.
</p><p>In the years that followed, Laban led an unsteady life between Paris and Vienna, <a href="Sanremo" title="Sanremo">Sanremo</a> and <a href="Nice" title="Nice">Nice</a>. Financially bankrupt, Laban completed an apprenticeship as an <a href="Accountant" title="Accountant">accountant</a> in Nice, from which he also successfully graduated. That was to be Laban's only encounter with a regular working life.
</p><p>Living with his mother in Vienna, Laban made a living as a graphic artist and caricaturist. Laban drew for the magazines <i><a href="Simplicissimus_(magazine)" class="mw-redirect" title="Simplicissimus (magazine)">Simplicissimus</a></i> and <i>Jugend</i> and continued the studies he had begun in Paris on historical dance forms. At a cultural event, Laban met the singer Maja Lederer from Munich and married her on 8 May 1910 in <a href="Pressburg" class="mw-redirect" title="Pressburg">Pressburg</a>. In the same year, they moved to Munich. With his second wife, Laban moved into a dwelling in <a href="Schwabing" title="Schwabing">Schwabing</a> at <i>Hohenzollernstraße 120</i>.
</p><p>In 1911, Laban rented a room in a rear building in Munich's <i>Theresienstraße</i>, which he set up as a makeshift movement studio. Laban couldn't make a living with his school; he had to continue working as a commercial artist and caricaturist. Overworked to the point of exhaustion, Laban collapsed in 1912 and went to the Lahmann-Sanatorium Weißer Hirsch near <a href="Dresden" title="Dresden">Dresden</a> for a cure, where patients were cared for according to the life-reform (<i><a href="Lebensreform" title="Lebensreform">Lebensreform</a></i>) principles.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEDörr200824–45_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDörr200824–45-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In this natural healing institution, Laban met and fell in love with <a href="Suzanne_Perrottet" title="Suzanne Perrottet">Suzanne Perrottet</a>, who was also a patient there. In the years that followed, a largely harmonious triangular relationship developed between Perrottet, Laban and his wife.
</p>
<p>Perrottet was to become Laban's most important collaborator (along with <a href="Mary_Wigman" title="Mary Wigman">Mary Wigman</a> and <a href="Katja_Wulff" title="Katja Wulff">Katja Wulff</a>),<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEDörr200824–45_10-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDörr200824–45-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> lover and mother of his child Allar Perrottet (later André Perrottet von Laban) in <a href="Ascona" title="Ascona">Ascona</a> and <a href="Z%C3%BCrich" class="mw-redirect" title="Zürich">Zürich</a>. During the <a href="First_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="First World War">First World War</a>, Laban created a school on the natural healing colony <a href="Monte_Verit%C3%A0" title="Monte Verità">Monte Verità</a> in the Swiss canton of <a href="Ticino" title="Ticino">Ticino</a>, in the municipality of <a href="Ascona" title="Ascona">Ascona</a>, which soon attracted many followers of the new dance art.<sup id="cite_ref-DIU1_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-DIU1-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was here that Laban conducted his famous summer dance courses from 1913 to 1919. Here the students also strived to live in harmony with nature by growing their own food, vegetarianism, weaving cloth and making their own <a href="Victorian_dress_reform#Germany" title="Victorian dress reform">reform-style clothing</a>, and dancing in the great outdoors nature often nude experimenting with dynamic improvisations.<sup id="cite_ref-DIU1_11-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-DIU1-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-TLODG1_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TLODG1-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Here Laban experienced his intellectual and artistic breakthrough, celebrating the "<i>neuen Menschen</i>", "<i>Fiur-Menschen</i>", "<i>Anarchos</i>", and "<i>Orgiastos</i>" in expressionist dance dramas.<sup id="cite_ref-DIU1_11-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-DIU1-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>In 1915 Laban, his wife and their two children and Perrottet and son Allar moved to <a href="Hombrechtikon" title="Hombrechtikon">Hombrechtikon</a> near Zürich. There, the extended family lived a self-sufficient lifestyle similar to that on Monte Verità, growing their own food, doing a lot of manual work and sewing their own clothes (e.g. Perrottet developed comfortable clothing for everyday work and dance, which can be attributed to the <a href="Victorian_dress_reform#Germany" title="Victorian dress reform">dress reform movement</a>). At the same time, Laban founded a school for the art of movement (<i>Schule für Bewegungskunst</i>) in Zürich. It included interdisciplinary dance art, pantomime, improvisation and experiments with the body, voice, instruments, texts and even drawing. Later Laban only mentioned the terms: form, sound, word.
</p><p>The conclusion of a large vegetarian and pacifist congress at the end of summer 1917 on Monte Verità in Ascona was the three-part dance drama <i>Sang an die Sonne</i> to a text by <a href="Otto_Borngr%C3%A4ber" title="Otto Borngräber">Otto Borngräber</a>. It began with the setting of the sun, which was followed by the dance of the demons of the night. This part was staged at midnight high in the mountains in front of poet-prophet <a href="Gustav_Gr%C3%A4ser" title="Gustav Gräser">Gustav Gräser</a>'s rock grotto. The face masks were created by the <a href="Dada" title="Dada">Dadaist</a> <a href="Marcel_Janco" title="Marcel Janco">Marcel Janco</a>. Early in the morning the rising, "victorious" sun was greeted as an expression of the hope of overcoming the war and a utopian higher development of mankind. At these performances worked also <a href="Mary_Wigman" title="Mary Wigman">Mary Wigman</a>, <a href="Sophie_Taeuber" class="mw-redirect" title="Sophie Taeuber">Sophie Taeuber</a> and Suzanne Perrottet.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Freemasonry">Freemasonry</h3></div>
<p>Laban had been a member of a <a href="Freemason" class="mw-redirect" title="Freemason">Freemason</a> association since 1913, and had founded his own masonic lodge "Johannis lodge of ancient Freemasons of the Scottish-and-Memphis-and-Misraim-Rites in the valley of Zürich" which had six brothers and ten sisters.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEDörr200867–68_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDörr200867–68-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Whilst on Monte Verità, Laban met the occultist <a href="Theodor_Reuss" title="Theodor Reuss">Theodor Reuss</a>, who had been on Monte Verità for some time and had established a local Freemason lodge.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEDörr200867–68_13-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDörr200867–68-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> On 24 October 1917, Reuss issued a charter to Laban and Hans Rudolf Hilfiker-Dunn (1882–1955) to operate a III° <a href="Ordo_Templi_Orientis" title="Ordo Templi Orientis">Ordo Templi Orientis</a> Lodge in Zürich called <i>Libertas et Fraternitas</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEDörr200867–68_13-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDörr200867–68-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Weimar_Germany">Weimar Germany</h3></div>
<p>After the end of World War I, Laban returned to Germany. The Zürich Laban School was taken over and continued by Perrottet. After an interlude in <a href="Stuttgart" title="Stuttgart">Stuttgart</a>, where Laban worked with the painter <a href="Max_Ackermann" title="Max Ackermann">Max Ackermann</a>, Laban founded the <i>Tanzbühne Laban</i> (Dance Stage Laban) in <a href="Hamburg" title="Hamburg">Hamburg</a>, <a href="Weimar_Germany" class="mw-redirect" title="Weimar Germany">Weimar Germany</a> in 1922.
</p><p>The first public performance of a dance poem by Laban took place in <a href="L%C3%BCbeck" title="Lübeck">Lübeck</a> in the autumn of 1922 in the State Theatre. They called the performance poster by <a href="Karl_Gatermann_the_Elder" title="Karl Gatermann the Elder">Karl Gatermann the Elder</a> <i>Der schwingende Tempel</i> (The Swinging Temple), archived under the number PLK-Laban 29 in the Dance Archive <a href="Leipzig" title="Leipzig">Leipzig</a>. In 1923, the first Laban school was founded, which had its own movement choir. The numerous graduates of the Hamburg School successfully carried Laban's method on to various cities in Germany and Europe. In the years that followed, 24 Laban schools were set up across Europe.
</p><p>In addition, Laban built up a "Choreographic Institute" in <a href="W%C3%BCrzburg" title="Würzburg">Würzburg</a> (1926/27) and <a href="Berlin" title="Berlin">Berlin</a> (1928/29). Together with Dussia Bereska, Laban also directed the Chamber Dance Stage (<i>Kammertanzbühne</i>) (1925–1927).

</p><p>Several allegations of Laban's attachment to <a href="Nazi_ideology" class="mw-redirect" title="Nazi ideology">Nazi ideology</a> have been made, for instance, as early as July 1933 Laban was removing all pupils branded as non-<a href="Aryan" title="Aryan">Aryan</a> from the children's course he was running as a ballet director.<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, some Laban scholars have pointed out<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> that such actions were necessary for survival in Nazi Germany at that time, and that his position was precarious as he was neither a German citizen nor a <a href="Nazi_party" class="mw-redirect" title="Nazi party">Nazi party</a> member. In fact, the seizure of power by the <a href="National_Socialists" class="mw-redirect" title="National Socialists">National Socialists</a> in 1933 had an immediate effect on Laban's work through the new law passed against racial overcrowding in German schools and universities of 25 April 1933 (<i>Gesetz gegen die Überfüllung deutscher Schulen und Hochschulen</i>), Laban was thus bound by this new law of vetting students with the racial characteristic of a "non-Aryan" descent. His work under the Nazi regime culminated in 1936 with Goebbel's banning of <i>Vom Tauwind und der Neuen Freude</i> (Of the Spring Wind and the New Joy), a choreography intended for the <a href="1936_Summer_Olympics" title="1936 Summer Olympics">1936 Summer Olympics</a> in Berlin, for not furthering the Nazi agenda.<sup id="cite_ref-EOE1_23-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EOE1-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="England">England</h3></div>
<p>In very poor health, Laban managed to travel to Paris in August 1937.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Eventually, he was invited to England, where in February 1938 he joined up with two of his former students <a href="Kurt_Jooss" title="Kurt Jooss">Kurt Jooss</a> and <a href="Sigurd_Leeder" title="Sigurd Leeder">Sigurd Leeder</a> at the Jooss-Leeder Dance School they had founded at <a href="Dartington_Hall" title="Dartington Hall">Dartington Hall</a> in <a href="Devon" title="Devon">Devon</a> (thanks to the philanthropy of <a href="Leonard_Knight_Elmhirst" title="Leonard Knight Elmhirst">Leonard Elmhirst</a> and his wife <a href="Dorothy_Payne_Whitney" title="Dorothy Payne Whitney">Dorothy Whitney</a>), where innovative dance was already being taught by other refugees from Nazi Germany.<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>In 1947, together with management consultant Fredrick Lawrence, Laban published a book <i>Effort</i>, <a href="Fordism" title="Fordism">Fordistic</a> study of the time taken to perform tasks in the industrial workplace and the energy used.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMcCaw2011XVIII_27-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcCaw2011XVIII-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Laban tried to provide methods intended to help eliminate <i>"shadow movements"</i> (which he believed wasted energy and time) and to focus instead on constructive movements necessary to the job at hand. Laban published <i>Modern Educational Dance</i> in 1948 when his ideas on dance for all including children were taught in many British schools. Laban died in England in 1958.
