Attending the Laban Bartenieff Movement Studies conference highlighted the many uses of movement analysis, not only in dance practice and research, but also in somatics, business, psychology, self-help, theatre, animation, robotics, and more.
Concurrent sessions of workshops, lectures, and panels meant that the LBMS conference was an embarrassment of riches, one requiring choices. It simply was not possible to attend all the sessions one desired!
However, shared sessions with the ICKL conference on Friday afternoon brought the notation and analysis communities together. On Sunday afternoon and evening, a closing movement choir, gala banquet, and awards ceremony provided a satisfying opportunity to gather with colleagues as the week of overlapping conferences came to an end.
