We are delighted to host you on our campus and know that you have an exciting, informative, and thought provoking conference ahead of you. As you know Ohio State's Department of Dance has a long tradition of valuing and utilizing the principles of Rudolph von Laban. Our strong relationship with the Dance Notation Bureau has benefited students, practioners and scholars of dance notation. The Dance Notation Bureau Extension for Education and Research has been a jewel in the Department of Dance and a service to the field. It is a particular pleasure to be here and see Lucy Venable, Odette Blum and Helen Alkire this evening, who will be honored for their outstanding contributions to furthering research, development and dissemination of Labanotation. I would also like to take a moment to express my appreciation to the committee that made this conference a reality: Odette Blum, Sheila Marion and Valarie Mockabee, with special thanks to Valarie for putting together tonight's lovely event. This week you will share with each other the current state, advances and new potentials in Labanotation, including the cutting edge innovations that are taking place. You will have the opportunity to renew friendships, make new connections, and exchange ideas of research and teaching innovations in the field of Kinetography Laban/Labanotation. Welcome and enjoy the conference. Opening Reception for ICKL The Ohio State University Faculty Club Thursday, July 28, 2001 5 OPENING COMMENTS: 1981 AND 2001 by Odette Blum, Chair of ICKL A hearty welcome to all of you. I am delighted to see colleagues from so many countries and to see so many new faces among you. We had an ICKL Conference here in 1981 and I found it interesting to look at the differences in content between these two. In our intensive ten days in 1981, we were involved with exploring solutions for movement needs, which included those of diverse cultures (not just western theatrical dance), and theoretical and writing problems. At the same time we continued with the task of unification between Kinetography Laban (European branch) and Labanotation (American branch). These two branches had developed independently during the World War II years due to the inability to communicate, and there had been a continuing effort since then to resolve these differences. It was at this conference that Maria Szentpál's Time Signs and Ilene Fox' and Jane Marriets Angling were accepted for trial. Carl Wolz introduced us to the intricacies of the fan in Japanese dance, his analysis, and the symbols he had devised for parts of the fan. Maria Szentpál's DBP (Direction from Body Part), presented in 1975, was reviewed and re-explored, to mention only a few subjects dealt with. In addition, at that conference there was one very different presentation by Dave Sealy of the University of Iowa called Computers and Labanotation. With the help of Judy Allen as the content person, he had the aim of developing a tool that would make the notator's work more efficient and productive i.e. be able to produce a finished score with the aid of a computer. Among other problems, he spoke of the problem of resolution - the symbols had to be very large to be readable, a size of ten squares to the inch produced a blob. However, he thought that in five years time that and other problems could be overcome, that it was here to stay and that it would be a very useful tool. Today, 20 years later we have LabanWriter, Calaban, multi-media programs that have been developed that include notation, not to mention the internet and the web on which we can disseminate our work. We have almost closed the gap in the differences between our European and American colleagues. The remaining differences are easily read, understood and are accepted by most. 6 At this Conference 12 of the 30 non-technical presentations are computer related. Some are demonstrations of multi-media and notation programs oriented to teaching and research, while others use the computer as a tool to enhance teaching, to promote an understanding of a choreographic process, and so on, - an amazing transformation to contemplate! You may find it interesting to dip into the 1981 Proceedings to read about the issues, some of which still linger, and the people involved. The Proceedings were dedicated to Irmgard Bartenieff and Sigurd Leeder. Both had contributed greatly to the furtherance of Laban's work and had died that summer. There were some dedicated members who were with us here and are no more : Rhoda Golby, Hettie Loman, Maria Szentpál, Lisa Ullmann, and Helen Priest Rogers, who in her calm manner, kept our meetings on the straight and narrow with Robert's Rules of Order. Lucy Venable was Chair of ICKL and Billie Mahoney was Chair of the Research Panel with members Roderyk Lange, Maria Szentpál and Judy Van Zile. Other than freezing in the conference room in Weigel Hall (in the School of Music where instruments were stored) all went well. So, again, welcome and I wish you all an enjoyable and stimulating week. 7 THE 22ND BIENNIAL CONFERENCE by Ann Hutchinson Guest, President of ICKL The 22nd biennial conference of the International Council of Kinetography Laban (ICKL) was held July 26th to August 2nd, 2001 at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.

This booklet focuses on the documentation of, access to, and preservation of dance heritage. It discusses the cultural and intellectual value of dance and articulates what elements of dance should be recorded and made accessible so that scholars, performers, creators, and the public can grasp fully the rich history of human expression embodied in dance. It also explores the various strategies used for making those resources accessible and the challenges of preserving the fragile media on which these sources are recorded.

  • The Body Beyond Movement: (Missed) Opportunities to Engage with Contemporary Dance in HCI
    The Body Beyond Movement: (Missed) Opportunities to Engage with Contemporary Dance in HCI STEPHAN JÜRGENS, ITI/LARSyS, Portugal NUNO N. CORREIA, University of Greenwich, UK and ITI/LARSyS, Portugal RAUL MASU, ITI/LARSyS, Portugal and DI, FCT, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal This paper argues that a significant paradigm change in contemporary dance can offer further opportunities for HCI researchers interested in embodied interaction and interactive system design. Based on the analysis of 42 HCI papers in our data set, resulting from searches in two computing research libraries, we suggest seven thematic categories that reflect how HCI researchers have been engaging with contemporary dance. Moreover, we propose a standardized usage of contemporary dance terminology in HCI literature, and discuss the current state of engagement with publications from the field of performance theory. We identify three opportunities for HCI, which can arise through further engagement with the knowledge produced in contemporary dance and performance: to engage with the field of embodied interaction from the perspective of performance research and theory; to employ contemporary dance methods and practices in HCI research; and to integrate contemporary dance choreographers and performers as researchers in interdisciplinary projects. CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing ! HCI theory, concepts and models; • Applied computing ! Performing arts. Additional Key Words and Phrases: embodied interaction; contemporary dance; literature review; performance studies; interdisci- plinarity; referencing 1 INTRODUCTION There is an increasing interest from the HCI community in contemporary dance, often linked to the growing attention given to the concept of embodied interaction. Regarding the latter, an important milestone has been Dourish’s book “Where the Action Is” [25], which set the foundation for embodied interaction in HCI as “interaction design for and with the lived body” [30].

Robinson: Social Documentation of Dance Introduction Social documentation of live performance is audience-driven: ‘unofficial’ documentation that comes from the public and the audience, not from behind the stage. This has historically manifested itself in many different ways, but it is in the 21st century that social documentation has become truly social. While I have previously written on the subject of social documentation of all live performance, I believe that ballet is a special case. It is an art form that is both archaic and innovative, elitist and accessible, and it has built up a community around itself that is constantly making their feelings on these subjects heard.
