*The Effort Graph is a concept within Laban Movement Analysis (LMA), a system developed by Rudolf Laban to analyse and describe human movement. The Effort Graph specifically categorises movement into four components: Space, Weight, Time, and Flow.
The Effort Graph is a tool used in dance and movement analysis to understand and classify the qualities of movement, providing a framework for choreographers and dancers to create and communicate various nuances in their performances.
