Notes

1. Personal communication, Mary Wigman, Berlin, 1957.

2. Laban's group was the German Dance Union (Deutsch Tanzerbund) and it promoted the formation of movement choirs to participate in large municipal demonstrations of solidarity through dance; Wigman's group was the German Dance Association (Deutsche Tangemeinschaft) which strove to unite dance artists with stage careers. Although they did not see eye to eye as Wigman developed as a performing artist and Laban turned his attention to teaching Laien and developing his notation, Wigman always acknowledged Laban as her mentor and held him in great esteem.
