This month marks the centennial of Warren Lamb’s birth and a great opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of this very creative Englishman.
After serving in the British navy during World War II, a chance meeting with Rudolf Laban altered the course of Lamb’s life. Instead of resuming his pre-war career in banking, Lamb headed for the Art of Movement Studio in Manchester, to study dance!? His parents were deeply dismayed….
In addition to dance classes with Lisa Ullmann and Laban, Lamb soon found himself standing for hours in steamy weaving sheds, making lots of notations of repetitive labor for the industrial studies Laban and F.C. Lawrence were conducting.
This inauspicious beginning led to a brilliant career and ground-breaking discoveries.
