At the age of 16, Lamb wanted to enroll in the armed forces. He was not allowed to join because of his age, and subsequently decided to get a job. After pressure from his father, Lamb decided to take a job with Lloyds Bank. He worked there for a year and a half until he was able to join The Royal Navy. He was a member of the British Navy. After leaving the Navy, he met Laban in 1946 and began to study with him. He spent three years studying with Laban at the Art of Movement Studio with Laban. He then began assisting Laban in movement notation and behavioral analysis. Lamb helped Laban create the Laban Lawrence Personal Effort Assessment.
In 1958, Rudolf Laban died, and subsequently Lamb focused on the Effort/Shape concept; eventually teaching it to his students. Two students to benefit from Lamb were Irmgard Bartenieff and Judith Kestenberg.
Movement Pattern Analysis (earlier known as Action Profiling) was created by Warren Lamb, drawing from the innovations of Laban and Lawrence. It is a theoretical model and assessment technique, used mainly in senior-management consulting and for personal-development.
Warren Lamb currently is researching movement and gender as well as he continues to lecture around the world. Lamb is also on the advising board for the Center of Movement Education and Research. Through his lectures lamb councils senior executive board members for numerous firms, and supports the development of effective management teams. Lamb currently resides in two locations, Claremont, California and London, England. He lives with his wife Barbara.
