Who can Gerd Neggo's influences and training in Laban Movement study be traced back to?
Rudolf von Laban Rudolf von Laban, also known as Rudolf Laban (Hungarian: "Rezső Lábán de Váraljas, Lábán Rezső, Lábán Rudolf" ) (15 December 1879 – 1 July 1958), was a dance artist and theorist. He is notable as one of the pioneers of modern dance in Europe. His work laid the foundations for Laban Movement Analysis, Labanotation (Kinetography Laban), other more specific developments in dance notation and the evolution of many varieties of Laban Movement Study. He is considered to be one of the most important figures in the history of dance.
Social hygiene movement The social hygiene movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries was an attempt by Progressive-era reformers to control venereal disease, regulate prostitution and vice, and disseminate sexual education through the use of scientific research methods and modern media techniques. A mental hygiene movement also developed, partly separately and now generally known as mental health, although the older term is still in use, e.g. in New York state's law.
