Dr Marion North CBE
It was with great sadness that the Laban Guild learned of Dr Marion North's death on May 3rd. As Principal and Chief Executive of Laban (Laban Centre and then Laban Creekside) from 1973 - 2004 she touched the lives of the many people who passed through its doors; in 2000 she was awarded the CBE for services to dance. She has written extensively on Rudolf Laban's work and had been a member of the Guild since 1949. A full obituary will follow in the next issue of 'Movement, Dance and Drama'.

An Experiment Towards a New Pedagogy
By M Catherine Deicher
The first inner vision of a choreutic shape and the first inner vision of any architectural creation or an abstract drawing have a great resemblance. The invention of an architectural, plastic or pictorial form is, in reality, a choreutic phrase. (Laban 1974, 115)

'Danser Sa Vie' at the Pompidou Centre
Reviews by Anna Carlisle
and Cathy Washbrooke
This major exhibition charts the history of the early modern dance pioneers and their influence on the visual arts. Intertwined with a wealth of fascinating archival material - sketches, drawings, diagrams, paintings and film – are videos of more recent contemporary dance works which have drawn inspiration from specific pioneering choreographies.
The exhibition heralds 'Dance as Self Expression' with a wonderful quotation:
"Divided between the desire for ecstasy and the search for harmony, dance was a pivotal part of the Modernist revolution". Isadora Duncan, of course, lights the way into the first galleries. There is a fragment of film - Isadora dancing in a Garden - a delicate series of pen and ink drawings (as pictured) by Antoine Bourdelle and a showcase full of small Rodin masterpieces, illustrating works which were inspired by Duncan and the dancers of the time.
