Acclaimed modern dance school and theatre in a sleek modernist building on the south side of the Thames. Laban is named for the celebrated dance artist and theorist Rudolf Von Laban who established studios and conservatories all over Europe, and founded the first Movement and Dance School in Manchester in 1946.


If you're here, it's either to check out some challenging dance or performance art, or to have a sandwich on the grass outside and admire your reflection in the curving walls.
