(From The Slovak Spectator)
Laban for the 21st century MORE than one hundred dancers from around the world will attend the artistic-educational project Laban for the 21st century in Bratislava between October 6 and 8.
"They are looking forward to seeing the hometown of one of the most distinguished dance figures of the first half of the 20th century," said Miroslava Kovaoova, director of the Bratislava in Movement Festival.
Dancer and dance theorist Rudolf Laban (1879-1958) gained fame for his pioneering dance notation system and theories of choreography and movement, which formed the foundations of modern central European dance.
The fact that dance institutes in New York and London bear his name proves just how important he was.
During the event, renowned dancers and teachers will explore how Labans theories can be used by actors, directors and drama teachers.
The programme includes lectures interpreted into Slovak - by experts from the United States, Brazil, France, Sweden, Norway, Israel and Great Britain.
