In addition to studying dance as a child, she attended Elementary and High School in Germany where she studied Languages (Latin, French, and English), Mathematics, European History, Geography, and the Sciences. In 1919 she began studies in science at Philosophical Faculty of the Friedrich Wilhelm University of Berlin, the University of Freiburg, and the Albrecht University in Freiburg, Baden. No degree was conferred. During the 1920s Bartenieff studied Modern Dance, Movement Analysis, and Movement Notation at the Rudolf Laban School in Munich and danced with the Tanzbühne Laban. She taught and performed in Germany through her own studio and company, Romantisches Tanztheater Barténieff, in Berlin and Stuttgart. After Immigrating to the USA in 1937 she taught Laban’s Theories and Dance Notation and continued studies in Massage Therapy, eventually opening a private practice with her husband, Michail Bartenieff, in Pittsfield, Massachusetts where she worked until 1942. She and Michail had two sons, Igor and George. In 1946 Bartenieff was awarded a certificate from the NYU School of Physical Therapy; she was later licensed in the State of New York and she maintained both a private practice and worked with polio patients and the mentally ill at hospitals in New York throughout her life. Eventually combining Dance and Therapy, Bartenieff become a founding member of the American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA). Bartenieff was a member of the Dance Notation Bureau (DNB) and the International Council on Kinetography Laban (ICKL). She taught Analysis and Synthesis of movement, wrote and published several articles, lectured across the US, gave demonstrations in Bewegungsmassage in the USA and Europe, and taught Laban’s Effort-Shape theories at the DNB. 1977 she began her own Institute to teach Laban Movement Analysis (LMA), the Laban Institute for Movement Studies (LIMS®), eventually allowing her name to be added (the Laban/Bartenieff Institute for Movement Studies). Having developed her own theoretical approach to the study of LMA (Bartenieff Fundamentals (BF)), and set of exercises (the Basic 6), she published a book “Body Movement: Coping with the Environment” co-authored by Dori Lewis in 1980. Irmgard 1 Bartenieff died on the 27 August 1981 in New York, NY. The Bartenieff papers include 103 boxes (record storage, document cases, score boxes, photograph binders, audio cassette and index card boxes, oversized flat boxes, and one map-case folder) comprising 59.25 linear feet.

Historical Note Irmgard Bartenieff (nee Dombois) was born 24 February 1900 in Berlin, Germany. She was married twice and had two sons, Igor and George, with her second husband, dancer Michail Bartenieff. Throughout her life she was a dancer, choreographer, teacher, Labanotator, Dance Therapist, Physical Therapist, dance historian, and activist. As a child she studied German folk dance and ballet. She attended Elementary school and the German Realgymnasium for Girls (Berlin-Wilmerdorf) in Germany where she studied Languages (Latin, French, and English), Mathematics, European History, Geography, and the Sciences. In 1919 she graduated from the Cecilienschule then matriculated at the Philosophical Faculty of the Friedrich Wilhelm University of Berlin for courses in Botany and basic science. She then studied chemistry, physics, anatomy, and biology at the pre-med level at the University of Freiburg. She continued her studies in science at the Albrecht University in Freiburg, Baden and added courses in Archeology and Art History. No degree was conferred. In 1935 Bartenieff enrolled in a Massage and Therapeutic Exercise course at the Freiburg University Clinic in Munich under the direction of Dr. Johannes Ludwig Schmitt. After immigrating to the USA in 1937 Bartenieff studied massage and electrotherapy with Drs. H.F. Wolf and S.E. Bilik. In 1942 she enrolled in the New York University School of Physical Therapy where she studied for two years and in 1946 Bartenieff she was awarded a certificate in Physical Therapy and was later licensed in the State of New York as a Physical Therapist. Bartenieff received her US citizenship in 1946. Between 1922 and 1925 Bartenieff studied Modern Dance, Movement Analysis, and Movement Notation at the Rudolf Laban School in Munich and danced with the Tanzbühne Laban. Between 1925 and 1927 she studied at the Choregraphisches Institut Laban, Wuerzburg, Berlin where she earned a diploma in dance notation and movement analysis. In 1927 she began teaching technique, theory, and notation and was an assistant choreographer at the Lang-Corret Laban School. In 1928 she studied Ballet with Michail Bartenieff, Victor and Tatyana Gsovsky, and Eugenie Eduardowa. 1929 she formed her own studio and company in Stuttgart, the Volkshochschule Stuttgart, where she taught courses for professionals and laymen. Between 1931 and 1933 Bartenieff and her then husband, Michail, formed a dance company in Berlin, the Romantisches Tanztheater Barténieff, which performed throughout Germany. While in Germany IB performed under several names including Irma Doom, Irma Dombois, Irma Prym, Irmgard Prym, Irma Kan-Bartenieff, and Irmgard Dombois-Bartenieff. The political situation in Germany in 1933 caused the Bartenieffs to close their company and IB resumed her study of Dance History and Kinetography Laban (Labanotation), working with Albrecht Knust. In 1936 IB and Michail 2 traveled to the USA to find work in dance, leaving their sons in Germany. In 1937 they immigrated to the USA where they performed sporadically while IB repeatedly returned to Germany to try and bring her sons to the USA which finally happened in 1939. In 1938 IB was awarded a certificate and license to practice massage in NY under the name of Kan-Kogan. This is a surname of unkown association with IB, but that appears in one or two included papers. The meaning of the name is ’of the tribe of Cohen’, and, as it is acknowledged that Bartenieff was a name assumed by IB’s husband Michail, it may actually have been their legally-recognized name. Working with Irma Otte-Betz, Bartenieff taught Laban’s Theories and Dance Notation, teaching at the New School for Social Research in New York and the Lieberman School in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. The two Irmas also co-authored an instructional text on Labanotation, but the final draft was lost during one of IB’s’s trips to Germany and thus was never published (Irma Otte-Betz died in 1940). Unable to support themselves with their dance performance, IB’s and Michail opened a private practice in Massage Therapy in Pittsfield, Massachusetts where she worked until 1942. In 1944, following her course in Physical Therapy at NYU, Bartenieff was asked by her professor, Dr. George Deaver, to work in the poliomyelitis unit of the Willard Parker Hospital. She eventually managed the unit and worked there until 1953. From 1954 until 1958 Bartenieff was a Physcial therapist and coordinator of the rehabilitation program at the Blythedale Home for Children in Valhalla, NY under Dr. A.D. Gurewitsch. From 1958 through 1960 she was a research therapist for Dr. Gurewitsch at the Institute for the Crippled and Disabled and continued that role the following two years in Gurewitsch’s private practice. An early experimenter with combining dance and therapy, Bartenieff discussed her ideas with Rudolf Laban, who fully supported her and eventually added therapy to the Laban Art of Movement’s curriculum (in England). Eventually combining Dance and Therapy more formally, Bartenieff became a founding member of the American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA). A believer in disseminating information, Bartenieff taught and lectured on various aspects of Physical Therapy. In 1957 and 1958 she traveled to Denmark to teach courses on techniques for the treatment of polio and advanced kinesiology. From 1960 until 1962 she taught several courses on Movement, Massage, and Physical Therapy at NYU School of Physical Therapy, Columbia University, and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University, including a course for doctors and graduate students. From 1959 through 1962 she taught Dance Therapy at the Day Hospital Department of Psychiatry (Jacobi

  • Choreography for the Camera AB
    Course Title CHOREOGRAPHY FOR THE CAMERA A/B Course CHORFORCAMER A/B Abbreviation Course Code 190121/22 Number Special Notes Year course. Prerequisite: 1 semester of any dance composition class, and 1 semester of any dance technique class. Prerequisite can be waived based-on comparable experience. Course This course provides a practical and theoretical introduction to dance for the camera, Description including choreography, video production and post-production as pertains to this genre of experimental filmmaking. To become familiar with the form, students will watch, read about, and discuss seminal dance films. Through studio-based exercises, viewings and discussions, we will consider specific approaches to translating, contextualizing, framing, and structuring movement in the cinematic format. Choreographic practices will be considered and practiced in terms of the spatial, temporal and geographic alternatives that cinema offers dance – i.e. a three-dimensional, and sculptural presentation of the body as opposed to the proscenium theatre. We will practice effectively shooting dance with video cameras, including basic camera functions, and framing, as well as employing techniques for play on gravity, continuity of movement and other body-focused approaches. The basics of non-linear editing will be taught alongside the craft of editing. Students will fulfill hands-on assignments imparting specific techniques. For mid-year and final projects, students will cut together short dance film pieces that they have developed through the various phases of the course. Students will have the option to work independently, or in teams on each of the assignments. At the completion of the course, students should have an informed understanding of the issues involved with translating the live form of dance into a screen art.

  • Ballets Russes Press
    A ZEITGEIST FILMS RELEASE THEY CAME. THEY DANCED. OUR WORLD WAS NEVER THE SAME. BALLETS RUSSES a film by Dayna Goldfine and Dan Geller Unearthing a treasure trove of archival footage, filmmakers Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine have fashioned a dazzlingly entrancing ode to the rev- olutionary twentieth-century dance troupe known as the Ballets Russes. What began as a group of Russian refugees who never danced in Russia became not one but two rival dance troupes who fought the infamous “ballet battles” that consumed London society before World War II. BALLETS RUSSES maps the company’s Diaghilev-era beginnings in turn- of-the-century Paris—when artists such as Nijinsky, Balanchine, Picasso, Miró, Matisse, and Stravinsky united in an unparalleled collaboration—to its halcyon days of the 1930s and ’40s, when the Ballets Russes toured America, astonishing audiences schooled in vaudeville with artistry never before seen, to its demise in the 1950s and ’60s when rising costs, rock- eting egos, outside competition, and internal mismanagement ultimately brought this revered company to its knees. Directed with consummate invention and infused with juicy anecdotal interviews from many of the company’s glamorous stars, BALLETS RUSSES treats modern audiences to a rare glimpse of the singularly remarkable merger of Russian, American, European, and Latin American dancers, choreographers, composers, and designers that transformed the face of ballet for generations to come. — Sundance Film Festival 2005 FILMMAKERS’ STATEMENT AND PRODUCTION NOTES In January 2000, our Co-Producers, Robert Hawk and Douglas Blair Turnbaugh, came to us with the idea of filming what they described as a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Amidst all this, Laban has created 25 Laban schools and choirs for the education of children and adults, men and women, professionals and amateurs right across Europe — all of this by the age of 50, by which time he had settled in Berlin, where he continues to keep a dance laboratory for his own research. Laban died on July 1, Her husband's job transferred them to Atlanta, where she transitioned to a full-time job as a medical transcriptionist while raising a family.

Recognized as a leading force in the European dance world, he was invited to choreograph the opening of the Olympics in Berlin. Laban, born in in Bratislava then a city in the Austro-Hungarian Empire , dropped out of military school to become a painter and moved to Munich at the age of twenty-eight to study choreography.
