Writing Dance II
Writing Dance II
I have always wondered how dances were remembered.
When I hear that a dance company is going to perform, I ask myself questions how do they know what to do? Is dance written down somewhere?
Actually, dance artist and theorist, Rudolf Laban (1879 – 1958), had invented a graphical system of analyzing and recording movement.
The Laban notation has two main sets of symbols.
Here I would like to introduce to you the symbols that represent the position of these parts of the body in space.
I would to show a diagram of the positions of the labanotation makes it possible to represent the movement of the part of the body in space (in 3 dimensions) around it.

As physical spaces remain shut and audiences head online, we have tried for the first time to hold an Instagram-based exhibition, @go.around.pop.
To add extra depth and interactivity, we created a short video of backstory for each item. This backstory video is 10 seconds long without sound.
