Submission address | email to swiesner@umd.edu |
You are invited to submit a paper/talk proposal for possible inclusion in a one-day symposium on November 10, 2017 that will support the formal launch of the exhibit ‘Irmgard Bartenieff: a Personal Journey through Dance’ at the Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library (MSPAL) gallery at the University of Maryland.The exhibit follows Irmgard’s path through her professional life: as dancer, Laban student, Labanotator, physical therapist, dance therapist, Effort/Shape guru, teacher, author, dance ethnographer, etc. The exhibit is also a means of honoring Karen Bradley and her work promoting Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analysis through the University of Maryland and LIMS. As such, the general theme for the day is the impact Irmgard's work had on your work/life.
A conversation between Martha Davis and Forrestine Paulay will begin the day at 9AM. There will be 3 blocks of 1.25 hours for presentations. A Movement Choir will end the day into the atrium of the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center (the gallery and lecture room sit between the MSPAL library and the Clarice).
The symposium will be free, but space is limited so registration will be requested. Lunch will be provided.
On 11 November a 'name that person' informal event will be held in the Lowens Room, Special Collections in the Performing Arts; this event will offer an opportunity for attendees to assist with the identification of individuals in photographs and videos held in the LIMS Collection and Bartenieff Papers. No meals will be provided, but comaraderie is assured.
