During The Mid-1930'S She Toured Austria Switzerland And Germany As A Solo Danseuse And Served As A Critic For The Dancing Times And Der Tanz. Her Understanding Of The Arts And Fluency In Five Languages Provided Her With A World Picture That Was To Guide Her Professional Career. At The Onset Of Wwii In 1938 She Immigrated To The United States. In 1939 Laban And Dance Partner Frances Bartha Toured Together And Opened The Laban Dance Studio In New York City. In 1941 She Began Her American Academic Training At Yale University Completing A Master Of Fine Arts In 1943 And A Doctor Of Philosophy Degree In Theatre Arts In 1947.

In 1954 Paul Baker Chairman Of The Drama Department At Baylor University Recruited Laban To Head The Graduate Division For Drama Where She Taught Stage Movement And Theatre History. The Next Eight Years Were Exceptionally Fruitful For Laban: Developing New Courses; Spearheading A National Trend To Train Actors In Movement; Directing And Choreographing Student Productions; And Teaching In South America On A Fulbright Lectureship. In 1963 Laban Accepted A Position At University Of California Los Angeles Ucla Where She Returned To A Position Within A Dance Department.

As An Early Member Of The Committee On Research In Dance Cord Laban Helped Shape The Development Of This Organization.

Because Of Her Distinguished Reputation Southern Methodist University In Dallas Recruited Laban To Head The Burgeoning Graduate Dance Program In 1971. Upon Her Return To Dallas Laban Renewed Her Association With The Dtc And Paul Baker. Robyn Baker Flatt A Former Student And Baker's Daughter Appointed Laban To The Dtc Graduate Program In 1973. Ill Health Forced Her Retirement To Temple Tx Where She Died Of Cancer In 1978 At The Age Of 68." "The Scope Of The Juana De Laban Dance Collection Housed At The Dallas Public Library Is So Broad That It Can Serve As An Important General Resource For International Research On The Many Idioms Of Dance And For The Study Of Human Movement. The Size Of The Collection Is Impressive." <br/> <br/> Teachers College Press, Columbia University hardcover

"North of Nome" was released in 1925; no information could be located regarding the other two.This copy inscribed on the half-title to Rev.

I Have A Feeling I Shall Be Over In The States If This Goes On. Yesterday I Received A Copy Of The Griffin Reader's Subscriptions Inc. With An Article By Jacques Barzun No Less On E. M. Forster's Hill Of Devi. He Said 'With Mr. Reginald Reynolds' A Quest For Gandhi Which Is Its Perfect Autobiographical Counterpart The Hill Of Devi Is The Best Introduction To The Physical And Emotional Realities Of Modern India". This Has Completely Gone To My Head. The Snooty Pederasts Of Horizon And The New Statesman Never Paid Me Such Compliments. Nobody Here Compares My Modern Workto The Great And Monumental Achievements Of Mr. Forster. I Think I Must Go To America Soon The Land Where They Don't Expect Me To Lick Some Old Queen's Arse Before You Can Get A Decent Write-Up. But Does Somebody I Know - You For Example-Happen To Know Jacques Barzun Because He Posted The Thing To Me Himself To Oak Cottage Which Is Even Odder Than Sending It Here To Chelsea." He Then Discusses His Wife Edith Mannin's Recent Diet "And Much Better For It" And Is Worried About What She Will Eat When She Travels To Burma To Stay With U- Indecipherable As He Is Sure They Will Cook All Their Food In Ghee And Then Fry It Too. Then "I Must Cultivate Some More Forsterian Habits But Draw The Line At One; For He Is "Called' As We Say In Chelsea- Called To The Higher Faith Greater Than The Love Of Women Which No Doubt Helped In His Career This Side Of The Atlantic." He Then Closes With Sending His Love To The Recipient "To You Both" Inquiries What The Recipient Is Doing And Asks When They Will See Them Again. In 1964 His Wife Traveled Through The United States Meeting Austin In California Staying With Him And Traveling In California With Him. She Wrote A Book About The Trip "An American Journey" Hutchison 1967 Which She Dedicated "For Rickey With Whom I Made Some Of These Travels And To Whom I Owe So Much - In Enduring Friendship". <br/> <br/> Unpublished unknown
