I completed my year of movement analysis training at the Dance Notation Bureau in New York City in 1976. Fifty years later, it is safe to say that this training changed my life.
I began movement analysis training as a young dancer interested in a choreographic career. My certificate project, a solo dance centered around the Spell Drive, unexpectedly led me away from performance and toward a deeper interest in what the study of movement can reveal about human behavior. This led to almost four decades of work with Warren Lamb, multiple writing and research projects, and many years of teaching.
I do not anticipate another 50 years of work as a movement analyst. But I do have some things planned for this year. Find out more in the next blogs.
