Our Mission

As an evolving community engaged with the living, breathing body of knowledge of LBMS, we seek to grow and nurture a sustainable platform that fosters a vibrant and inclusive community, united by a shared dedication to consensus building. We embrace curiosity and counterpoints to realize the potential of our shared community and of our field.

Mid-July 2025 marks the historic gathering of the notation and movement analysis communities at The Ohio State University.


The 34th Biennial Conference of the International Council of Kinetography Laban/Labanotation conference kicks off this event, with sessions running Monday, July 14—Friday, July 18 (arrival Sunday July 13).


The inaugural International Conference on Laban Bartenieff Movement Studies (LBMS), organized by the Laban/Bartenieff Institute of Movement Studies (LIMS) follows, beginning on Friday, July 18 thru Sunday, July 20. This first day of the conference will incorporate some joint program sessions with ICKL, including a keynote address by Bebe Miller and a shared social event. A workshop session on archival research in both fields will take place on Saturday, July 19 and Sunday, July 20. In addition, there will be opportunities for both communities to participate in each other’s conference partially or fully.
