Indeed, yes, thanks for the Laban and Labanotation references ...
As for SL, yes there is still work being done in there, especially the

And I know the Second Front folks, having been part of one of their
disruptions early on (as a victim!).

If your first move is brilliant, you're in trouble. You don't really know
how to follow it; you're frightened of ruining it. So, to make a mess is a
good beginning. -- Brian Eno
