Praise for Actor Training the Laban Way
“Barbara Adrian’s book is filled with inspiring ideas supported by accessible practical exercises. She unifies Voice, Speech, and Movement based on the foundations of Laban and Bartenieff. This is a multi-levelled deep dive into innovative skill that leads to artistry.”
—Jan Gist, MFA, Professor Emeritus of Voice, Speech, Dialects, Old Globe/University of San Diego, Shiley Graduate Theatre Program

“This book represents the author’s long experience and reflections on how to support actors to trust their inner impulses and become fully present on stage. We in the international Laban community welcome this wonderful contribution to the theory into practice canon.”
—Regina Miranda, CMA, Former Director of Arts & Culture, Laban/Bartenieff Institute for Movement Studies; Founder/Artistic Director of Regina Miranda Actors/Dancers Co., Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

“This wonderful new book comprehensively aligns voice and speech with Laban’s physical clarity. It celebrates the organic journey of the actor with a practical, coherent scheme of work and encourages the creative spirit to push boundaries in finding new ways to express itself.”

“This book provides an excellent text to accompany the teaching of Laban technique and philosophy. It contains clear definitions and explanations and many liberating exercises that will increase the actor’s range and casting potential.”
