Graphic Notation Dance




Graphical dance notation is used as an alternative to other dance notations for speed of writing, the ability to represent abstract and complex ideas, and the retention of the Choreographer s conceptual process.

Mostly used by choreographers making Contemporary Dance , Avant-garde , Experimental , Generative , Conceptual , and Dance Technology performance works, it serves as dance script rather than as a method for Documentation And Reconstruction . Graphical dance notation is also used by dance scholars as a method for examining a choreographer's creative process.
