Our research arm supports LBMS and LIMS through research-based initiatives such as the Journal of LBMS (JLBMS), Conferences, Symposia, and research partnerships. We also provide and sustain Resources for study such as archival collections, online exhibits, bibliographies, and other materials.
Director of Research
The Journal of Laban Bartenieff Movement Studies publishes material stemming from the systems and explorations established by Rudolf Laban and Irmgard Bartenieff, and now further studied, developed, and taught at the Laban/Bartenieff Institute of Movement Studies and other schools and research centers. These approaches employ observation, sensing, moving, analysis, investigation, schematization, and questioning with the aim of understanding the body/mind from a systemic and integrative perspective involving whole-body movement, gesture, speech, facial expressions, and the Laban aspects of Body, Effort, Space, and Shape, etc.
LIMS offers several resources for locating primary and secondary sources useful for research into Irmgard Bartenieff, Rudolf Laban, the LIMS organisation, and writings of students and CMAs.
LIMS® organizes and supports projects that utilize Laban Movement Analysis/ Bartenieff Fundamentals and CMAs (Certified Movement Analysts), who research human movement and the meaningful nature of our interactions.

Laban Movement Analysis provides a map for movement and a framework for observing change and evolution of human behavior. It is an excellent tool for social scientists, neuroscientists, technology designers, forensics experts, educational practitioners and researchers, critics and literary and non-literary theorists, and fitness, health, and medical researchers. It is a valid, reliable systematic method for analyzing, documenting, describing and recreating human movement through micro and macro pattern analysis.
