Dance Notation

 Floor Plan by Matthew Lewis: A simple way of drawing dance notation. Each dancer has a different letter and at each iteration they can follow where their letter goes. Although it lacks abstract qualities it certainly is easy to understand and follow. The use of a more plan view allows dancers to see from above.
Choregraphie by Raoul-Auger Feuillet: A more abstract dance notation drawing. It seems to merge the music of the dance and the movement of the dancers into one image. The lines of the dancer move around and mix with the bars of music notes and symbols. Using this method allows the dancers to understand how the music relates with the dance.
Drawn By Numbers a drawing collective between Kirsty Badenoch and Peter Bulloch: A very abstract dance notation drawing. Circles and lines collide on the page to create artwork. Each line a dancer moving and flowing through the space. Thickness of the lines vary like the speed and strength of the dancer.
Generated Labanotation of the Tibetan dance, a section of Dong Wang Guo Zhuang: An image of Laban Dance Notation. Although confusing and strange to the common eye, it provides movement and direction to a dancers mind. Providing dynamics and tempo to reconstruct and record. This method allows dancers to have a deeper understanding of their individual movements and placement of certain body parts.
