About the International Council of Kinetography Laban
Founded in England in 1959, the International Council of Kinetography Laban is a non-profit international association of exponents of Kinetography Laban/Labanotation. Membership is open to anyone interested in the research, development and practice of movement/dance notation. ICKL has about a hundred members and fellows from more than twenty countries.
Originated by Rudolf Laban and published in 1928, the system was further developed by Albrecht Knust, Sigurd Leeder and Ann Hutchinson Guest.
ICKL provides a biennial forum for the presentation, discussion and implementation of research and development of this system of movement/dance notation, and its application to the many areas of movement/dance utilizing new technologies.
This system is one of the most universally used systems of movement notation for the documentation of, education about, and research on, human movement.
The aims of ICKL are to promote the use of the system; to increase research for its development and applications; to act as a deciding body with regard to the orthography and principles of the system; to support experimental projects in related areas; to encourage information exchange among centers and individuals using the system.
Its activities include the publication of conference proceedings, bibliographies and indexes, and the organization of the biennial conferences.
This biannual school concert and high-tea event by the Aurora School of Ballet will feature dance pieces ranging from classical ballet to modern, rock & roll and techno by students aged between 4 and 19 years.

In this month’s Dance Box Series, Mun Lee will present Fang Xue [Blood Letting]. Described as a hybrid of space, visuals and dance, it uses a combination of multi-visual art media to search for a cutting edge with which to ‘let blood’.
When happiness has been terminated,
My heart beat stops, pours it out, stabs it.
Gently discharging the extravasated blood,
Still hope lives.

Ng Wei Hock and Woon Fook Sen, familiar names in the Chinese community of theatre and dance, have directed Island, a maiden play by Trickster Theatre. Although there will be some dialogue in Mandarin, much of the action will be physical rather than verbal.
According to the directors, everyone has their own fantasy island, an island full of memories. The performance focuses on a group of people who have enclosed themselves within their own island, isolated from others but not from their own lonely hearts.
The performers include Tam Sie Hong, Lee Yoke Mun, Chong Pei Wen, Wai Chee Pang and Loi Chee Lun.
