Labano-what?

Inside Look: Folksay/Episode Three: Labanotation from CityDance Ensemble on Vimeo.



Citydance is Washington's preeminent modern dance company. Preeminent is a fancy word for bad-ass. I love them, I really do.
So, a bunch of artists (including yours truly)were invited to create an editioned artist book based on Citydance's 08-09 dance season. I've been thinking a lot about how we can map, chart and document our day to day movements. This labanotation thing just may be the ticket for the guts of my book. Stay tuned.
Oh, you can also read more about the project on Kelly's blog. Kelly O'brien, who is book artist, dancer, marketing goddess (don't all artists need such a godess?) and is the mastermind behind this book arts collaboration/edition. TurningPointe Press
