Description: | The archive of the National Resource Centre for Dance (NRCD) focuses on collecting, preserving and making available materials that represent a wide range of theatrical, educational and theoretical dance development and activity in the UK. We hold a substantial core reference collection and over 50 special collections.
The special collections represent the life and work of dance companies, organisations, choreographers, movement theorists, artists, critics, art administrators, and educators. The diverse holdings dates from the late 17th century but predominately represent the mid-19th century to the present day and include personal papers, photographs, scrapbooks, periodicals, video and film, books, costumes, set designs, and many forms of ephemera.
NRCD Special Collections include the Rudolf Laban Archive and related special collections such as the Lisa Ullmann Archive, the Educational Dance-Drama Theatre Archive (1954-1979) and the International Council of Kinetography Laban/Labanotation (ICKL).
