Item description from seller

Collection of material produced by The Dance Notation Bureau, including twelve issues (Volumes I-III) of the 1943-1960 bulletin newsletter, a ten-lesson correspondence course in dance notation, and two gatherings of excerpts from the writings of Rudolf von Laban. Labanotation, a system of abstract symbols created to record movement, was first created by modern choreographer and dancer Rudolf von Laban in the 1920s. Laban founded the first school to teach his system in 1923 in Hamburg, the first of 24 Laban schools across Europe. Laban's system could be used for a variety of applications-dance, theatre, anthropology, and movement research-and is still taught today. The Dance Notation Bureau was formed in 1940 by Ann Hutchinson Guest, Helen Priest, Eve Gentry, and Janey Price, with the stated goal of promoting and preserving the art of dance through Labanotation. The organization continues to operate today as a nonprofit. 8.5 x 11 inches. Mimeograph duplication, rectos only. Overall Very Good plus, each gathering bound with a single staple to the top left corner, the balance with light rusting around the binding.…
