“Founded in England in 1959, the International Council of Kinetography Laban is a non-profit international organization.

Its members practise the system of movement and dance notation originated by Rudolf Laban, known as Kinetography Laban or Labanotation. This system is one of the main systems of movement notation for the documentation of, education about, and research on human movement. ICKL has about a hundred members and fellows from more than twenty-five countries.

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 centres and individuals using the system. Its activities include the organization of a biennial conference and the publication of the conference proceedings.” (Quotation from the ICKL web site.)
