Janet Hamburg, director of dance, was featured Saturday in a national NBC news segment because of a warm-up program she devised for the KU men's basketball team.
The 20-minute warm-up is based on techniques of Laban Movement analysis and may be worked on the analysis in a eight-day conditioning class with Hamburg.
Hamburg said yesterday that the segment on "NBC Nightly News" at 5:30 p.m. Saturday showed basketball players practicing the warm-up, with members of the team and an interview with her describing the program.
"It has a notation system more complex than music notation." "Hamburg said. "All body parts including skin, bowels and eyelashes can be notated."
Hamburg said the basketball players learned about balance in movement and choices of movement that would give them an advantage during games.
details up to 27 different directions in space and the qualities of movement such as speed or suspension. It also deals with the qualities of time, weight, space, tension and flow, Hamburg said.
The Laban Movement Analysis
Hamburg, who was certified in New York as a Laban Movement Analyst, teaches two graduate courses in the technique.
She said an NBC news crew from Chicago recently interviewed her and members of the basketball team for almost two hours and taped the team working on the warm-up and playing a pick-up game.
"It involves connecting the mind and body much in the way martial arts does," Hamburg said of the Laban Movement. "I know that dance can help athletes because it requires them to be involved. It teaches athletes to move foreward and backward, up and down and side to side."
Hamburg said she suggested the warm-up program to Larry Brown, men's head basketball coach, because it could help athletes increase their flexibility, improve quickness and improve jumping.
Driving skills pay off
By a Kansan reporter
A KU junior sped to victory this weekend during the Fourth Annual National College Driving Champion Saturday and Saturday at Potter, Pavilion.
"I'm pretty excited," Chris Arth, Olathe junior, said yesterday. "I entered the competition last year. This year I decided, why hold back? I wasn't nervous."
The competition, sponsored by the Dodge Division of the Chrysler Corp. and Student Union Activities, was open to all full-time undergraduates and promoted safety and alcohol awareness. The contest is being conducted at about 100 U.S. colleges and universities.
Last week, the four-member contest crew conducted the competition at Kansas State University, where 500 people entered. Today and tomorrow the competition is being conducted at Fort Hays State University.
Competitors drove a Dodge Daytona Turbo Z through a 3/10-mile course marked by orange pylons, said Melody Wicht. event manager.
Arth's time of 18.094 seconds was faster than the other 129 full-time undergraduates who competed at Potter Pavilion.
Arth will receive round-trip airfare and accommodations in Daytona Beach, Fla., during spring break to compete in the grand finals. The winners will be selected for a scholarship and the use of a Dodge Daytona Turbo Z for one year.
