Two down; countless more to go.

I've completed some research. About LABAN. Oh yes.
It was stated that Shape, Space and Effort are all influenced by the bodily movements an actor make.

From the pdf folder I've read:

Effort – the dynamics of movement identified through weight space time and flow; organized in
patterns of exertion and recuperation or other kinds of phrasing.
The use of effort in the acting class
- Playing with different effort possibilities for a character and deciding on the particular
movement qualities of a specific character.
Shape – internal attitude shapes external form; how form relates to the environment (for instance
whether the body action relates to the space around the body at all or pokes or carves through it).
Shape is the “container” for the effort or dynamics of the movement - described as
growing/shrinking; linear or arc-like pathway; shaping/moulding space around body.
The use of shape in the acting class-
- As a support for Fundamentals (breath support for all actions)
- As a support for any actions of the body and its effort life (the changing relationship of the
body’s shape in response to the mover’s inner attitude)
- As a support for the process of moving into space; how the body accommodates a changing
form, direction or pathway)
Space Harmony- movement related to geometric form and architectural structures similar to
crystalline forms found in nature- dimensions, planes, diagonals, cube, octahedron,
icosahedron. The approach to one’s personal kinesphere, how we access the space around us;
use of spatial qualities and spatial intent. Below we have participants using the sagittal
dimension to relate to each other or to a prop.

Okay, I'm still very confused as to what to write for everything. But I've a very clear idea in my mind now on what I want to do.
