Kenneth MacMillan understood the importance of Benesh Movement Notation in recording his choreographic work and supported the work of the Institute of Choreology. He was a member of the Council of Management from 1973 and Vice President from 1981 becoming President in 1988. The material in this file includes correspondence with officers of the Institute including Directors Monica Parker and Andrew Ward, Librarian Irmgard Berry, Chairmen Nicholas Dromgoole and Roger Bramble, Secretary Francis Yeoh and Assistant/Technical Director Adrian Grater, as well as with John Sainsbury, the Arts Council, and the Director of The Julliard School Muriel Topaz. Topics covered include arrangements for securing rights in choreographic scores, the removal of Arts Council Funding and the need for fund raising including Gala Performances by The Royal Ballet and Ballet Rambert, efforts to create a Resource Centre for Dance, and publicising the Institute and Benesh Movement Notation through films and publications
