This article presented the historical and sociological aspects of Laban's choreographic idea. Examining Laban's writings in the 1920's, the influence on his movement theory from the contemporary symbology of ancient language in additon to the precedent ballet choreography was discussed. Further analysis revealed the importance of the freemasonic iconology of crystals in the embodiment of his theory in the theater work and mass dance. Finally, referring to the German sociologist Georg Simmel's notion ‘mass ornament, ’ the difference between Laban's representation of mass and that of Nazism was argued.
