International Council of Kinetography Laban—Biennial Conference

The International Council of Kinetography Laban (ICKL) held its biennial conference July 23-July 29 at the FLAP Jean Monnet Paris Welcome Center. It was an exciting, exhausting and exhilarating seven days of non-stop meetings, discussions and presentations. Perhaps one of the most remarkable facts about the conference is the number and diversity of the participants, particularly in the light of current budgetary cuts in every country, making attending such conferences ever more problematic. There were fifty delegates from Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, the Netherlands, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Canada, the United States, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Singapore. The Asian and Russian representation were particularly notable and welcome as was the multiplicity of applications of the Laban system. In addition to notators, in attendance were researchers into many genres of dance as well as mimes, computer specialists, and even an engineer. This provided rich and varied discussions allowing the participants to widen their perspectives in the light of contributions from their far-flung and diverse colleagues. It is through facing and solving the problems presented by different movement forms that the Laban system and its practitioners grow.
