Non-Verbal Communication

The Laban system of efforts highlights the 4 different categories of movement being Time (Quick/Sustained), Weight (Heavy/Light), Space (Direct/Indirect), Flow (Bound/Free).

Throughout the play characters change how they use effort. In the opening of the play Ton Seems to be more free as the Kid has not entered yet and he would not want to seem to tense around Lynne. But as the play continues he becomes more and more frustrated and I think this would mean his movements would change from being more of a Wring (Sustained, Heavy, Indirect and Bound) to being more of a Punch (Quick, Heavy, Direct and Bound). This would portray more anger and frustration in Ton whereas I think with certain exceptions, Lynne is lighter throughout the play and at the end when she comforts the Kid, and she would be very much a Float with Sustained, light, indirect and free movements.
