Abstract

This article seeks to bring the notion of labanian echoes from technical elements present in Eva Schul's contemporary dance classes, considering aspects related to the movement affiliation of Rudolf Laban that reach Eva Schul through Hanya Holm and Irmgard Bartenieff. Its methodological design includes observation, regular practice of Schul's classes, semi-structured interview with her, description and imagery contextualization of elements present in her classes and theoretical contributions that support them. Examples of elements that embody labanian echoes in Schul’s classes: floorwork, six modern vocabulary positions and pendulums (from Holm); core muscle support, bonny connections, homo and contralaterality, body-half, knee drop, arm circles and pelvic propulsion (from Bartenieff). Since it has been re-elaborated and disseminated by different figures, Laban’s legacy reaches Schul generating echoes in her classes, a scenario of significant poetic and historical potency, regarding the transmissibility of incorporated knowledge, and updating of thoughts and practices into a contemporary dance pedagogy.
