1. An honorary Board of Trustees— Conseild'Administration—also includes Erick Aschengreen (Denmark), Ivor Guest and Madeleine Inglehearn (Great Britain), Marie-Françoise Christout (France), Bengt Häger (Sweden), as well as representatives from Belgium, Holland, Spain, Portugal and France. Membership in the Association is 250FF, which is high in comparison with other European and American associations.

2. PatriziaVeroli told me that when her abstract was accepted for the Conference, she was informed that French and English (and not Italian!) were the official languages, and that there would not be any translations.

3. In Stockholm, Erik Näslund had insisted that English—only—be the Conference language in order to insure a good Scandinavian attendance. The Barcelona Conference promises to have simultaneous translation from and into Spanish, Catalan and English.

4. The proceedings of the Turin Conference are in the process of being published and will make up the next issue of La Danza Italiana. While this will undoubtedly be a more attractive solution than the usual camera-ready copy, I personally prefer having the papers available for purchase at the beginning of the Conference, as was the case in Stockholm.
