LBMS Summit Programme outline (TBC upon submission content)

Day 1: Laban/Bartenieff Movement System – 21st Century developments, processes, applications, opportunities, and challenges.

We will explore the rich global landscape of ‘Laban’ practice and the various processes and applications of the LBMS framework. The afternoon’s sessions will be particularly focused on contemporary issues arising from LBMS and the opportunities it offers, as well as an honest and bold approach to discussing its challenges and limitations for the 21st Century.

Laban’s work as a theatre artist is widely recognised. We encourage submissions which explore contemporary developments of Laban’s principles and how these can be used in creative practice, and/or to enhance performer training in arts contexts, which may include dance, drama, theatre, music. Submissions relating to how Laban’s principles are integrated in the health and wellbeing fields to benefit participants’ health and wellbeing are also welcomed.
