A comprehensive manual for writing movement in Labanotation when the body is not supported on the feet. Not only does it analyse in great detail how one can get up from lying, lie down from standing, roll from sitting on to the knees, etc., and how these movements are notated, but it also offers a complete survey of the Labanotation rules about distance, timing, systems of reference, weight distribution, and floor contact that apply to Labanotation as a whole and underlie any writing of 'floorwork'.
