After Graduation Laban Shifted Her Focus Away From Performing To Concentrate On Her Role As Educator. She Built Her Career In Academia Through A Series Of Posts In American Public Institutions Teaching And Speaking On Modern Educational Dance Folk Dancing And The Role Of Dance As Part Of A Fine Arts Curriculum. 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. By 1967 Laban Became So Committed To Scholarly Research That She Founded A Private Business The Dance Research Associates To Perform Research Assignments On A Request Basis. 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

The Earliest Public Garden In Saratoga California Nippon Mura Was Located Near The Rail Line Of The Interurban Railway. Nippon Mura Was Created In 1902 By Mr. And Mrs. Theodore J. Morris. They Acquired 30 Acres On The Newly Opened "Blossom Trolley Line" The Electric Railway That Ran From Downtown San Jose Through Los Gatos And Back Down Saratoga Avenue Into Town. Mr. Morris Was Connected With The China Japan Trading Company In Yokohama For Thirty Years And When The Couple Retired To California They Re-Created A Japanese Style Inn. At The Time Nippon Mura Was Opened The Saratoga Area Was Already Well Known For Its Summer Homes And Retreats. Nippon Mura Offered Summer Cottages In What Is Described As A Semi-Oriental Style Situated In A Garden Landscaped With Wisteria Iris Cherry Blossoms And Chrysanthemums. The Torii Tearoom Was An Important Garden Feature. Nippon Mura Attracted Distinguished Guests From Both Other States And Foreign Lands. Of The Three In Saratoga It Is The Garden That Has Mostly Disappeared It'S Charming Structures Now Nearly Buried Under Layers Of Additions. Most Of The Scenic Garden Has Been Paved For A Parking Lot. Today The Site Of Nippon Mura Is Known As Hacienda Inn A Restaurant And Hotel Located On Highway 9 Between Los Gatos And Saratoga. But Garden Sleuths May Recognize The Significance Of The Area By The Giant Eucalyptuses That Still Appear In The Parking Lot. The Oriental Style Eaves And Rooflines Of The Early Building Are Also Still Visible Although Finding The Shapes Among The All The Subsequent Additions Is A Challenge. <br/> <br/> L. C.
