2004 Chinese Culture University and Dance Notation Bureau INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IN TAIPEI:
Applications of Labanotation, Motif Writing and Laban Movement Analysis:  
In Education, With Technology And As A Tool For Cultural Study
Chinese Culture University 
Taipei, August 5-7, 2004

CALL FOR PROPOSALS

The 2004 Chinese Culture University and Dance Notation Bureau INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IN TAIPEI will address the many ways we use Labanotation, Motif Writing and Laban Movement Analysis to enrich our dance experience. They all provide tools for communicating, for thinking and analyzing, for seeing, and for focusing our ideas about dance.  They provide a means for sharing the dance experience: from person to person, from culture to culture and from generation to generation.  

This conference will explore applications of Labanotation, Motif Writing and Laban Movement Analysis: 

•	in education, for example how they can be incorporated in the dance curriculum, supporting areas of dance study such as history, composition, improvisation, and dance for children.  
• 	with computer technology, which may include topics such as the development of new software, or the use of technology to present the material such as on CD-ROMs or via the internet. 
•	to cultural studies, including their use to preserve the dance forms of a specific culture or their use in making cross-cultural comparisons. 

Proposals for sessions on other possible applications are also invited.

Paper presentations, panel sessions, workshops, lecture demonstrations and practical presentations are all welcomed.  Proposals are also solicited for extended workshops (practical sessions) to be presented in a continuing format over 2 or 3 sessions on successive days. Abstracts of papers and proposals for panels, workshops, lecture/demonstrations or extended workshops should be postmarked no later than September 15, 2003.  All abstracts should be no more than 500 typed words describing the type of presentation, and outlining the session content; the more clearly and completely you can describe the session content, the easier it will be for the readers to equitably assess it. There should be no names, affiliations or other identifying information in the body of the abstract.  The cover page (see attached) must include complete contact information for all presenters, audio/visual or other technical requirements, and space requirements. Notification of selection will be mailed by November 15, 2003.  Send all materials via postal mail to:
