Please excuse multiple postings SPECIAL REGISTRATION IS OFFERED FOR SESSIONS FOR DANCE NOTATION EDUCATORS WITHIN THE ICKL CONFERENCE JULY 31 (1:00)- AUGUST 2 (NOON) At this summer's Conference of the International Council of Kinetography Laban (ICKL), there will be a concentration of sessions for dance notation educators. A special registration is offered for those who cannot come for the entire ICKL conference but wish to attend these sessions, see attached form. These sessions are co-sponsored by the Alliance for Dance Notation Educators. They were planned in response to a need identified at the inaugural meeting of the group last summer in Washington D.C. The sessions were designed to meet three goals: 1. Introduce new innovations for the teaching of notation and its incorporation in dance curriculum. 2. Provide something to notation educators that they can take back and use with their teaching -- materials, ideas, teaching strategies, inspiration to continue.... 3. Discuss raising the levels of awareness of notation in the academic community and address the issue of strengthening the notation field and promoting its integration in dance education. A specific plan of attack will be developed. There will be sessions addressing the use of both Labanotation and Motif with various age student populations. The presenters include Loren Bucek, Mary Corey, Tina Curran, John Giffen, Mila Parrish, Ligia Pinheiro, Valarie Mockabee, Karen Eliot, Billie Lepczyk, Sharon Unrau, Jack Clark, Billie Mahoney and with welcoming remarks by Ann Hutchinson Guest. On August 1, there will be a lunchtime session for sharing of teaching materials. Each participant is asked to bring class materials using notation that they have prepared and used either in a notation class or in another class in the dance curriculum and that they are willing to let others use. There will be time to share how it was used in class. All materials will then be posted for downloading and educational use on the Teachers Bulletin Board, a project of the Alliance of Dance Notation Educators with support from Southern Methodist University and the Dance Notation Bureau. There will also be working sessions in which participants can contribute towards creating a plan for strengthening the notation field and promoting its integration in dance education. This will take place on Thurs. Aug. 2 from 9 - 12. The sessions are being organized and led by Patty Harrington Delaney and Ilene Fox. Contact Patty Harrington Delaney: pharring@mail.smu.edu or Ilene Fox: notation@mindspring.com for further information on these sessions. On Wednesday August 1st at 7.30 p.m., a banquet is being planned at a Chinese restaurant for all ICKL participants including those registering for the July 31 - Aug. 2 education sessions . Information and a banquet registration form is attached. There will be a hands-on LabanWriter 4 workshop on July 30th from 2:30 to 4:00.
