Ann Hutchinson Guest (born November 3, 1918)[1] is a world authority on dance notation and movement analysis. She has studied more than 80 dance notation systems and translated 20 to Labanotation. This has given her access to a number of dance works in their original version – such as Vaslav Nijinsky’s L’Après-midi d’un Faune. Her extensive research, performing and teaching career led her to establish the Language of Dance® approach to movement understanding. For her contribution to dance research and education she has been awarded two honorary doctorates as well as many lifetime achievement awards. In 1997 she received the "Outstanding Contribution to Dance Research" award from the Congress on Research in Dance (CORD).[2] In 1998 she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for Dance Studies.[3]
