Seminar on Laban Archives

August 4 2005, 14:00-17:30, LABAN Creekside
Held in conjunction with the Society for Dance Research (SDR) and the European Association of Dance Historians (EADH)

Researching Rudolf Laban’s work and legacy requires first re-tracing his peripatetic life to determine where relevant materials are to be found, and then following the paths taken by students and colleagues who developed his work in a variety of disciplines. There is no single, comprehensive archive for Laban studies. Instead, several public collections, particularly in Europe, hold archives linked to Laban, his colleagues, and the Laban heritage.

As the closing event in its biennial conference, ICKL has organised a seminar that brings together the archivists and curators responsible for these Laban-related collections. Held in conjunction with the Society for Dance Research, the seminar will involve presentations by the archivists about their collections, and a panel discussion taking questions from the audience.

Confirmed participants are as follows:

  • Jane Fowler, Archivist, LABAN, UK: Laban Collection, Sylvia Bodmer Collection

  • Chris Jones, Archive & Research Officer, National Resource Centre for Dance, UK: Rudolf Laban Archive, Lisa Ullmann Archive, ICKL Archive, Laban Guild Archive, Warren Lamb Archive and others

  • Claire Rousier, Department Director, and Jacqueline Challet-Haas, Centre national de la danse, France: Albrecht Knust Archive
