JAN from Susan - Last dance notation post

 

This is from Susan and I love it. I spent just enough time on a farm/ranch with a grandma, grandpa and uncles to have an appreciation for all things farm related. I love the lady in the spotted dress. It looks just  like my Aunt Donna - she had that exact polka dot dress. Although the glasses look like mine - so maybe it was supposed to be me? Even the bar code is nicely placed. I just love it.

I promise - this is the last of the dance notation - but this is exactly what was in my head when I wondered how choreographers could make notes on how a particular dance should go. There is so much to dance that is 3D - and with an infinite amount of possibilities - how do they communicate the specifics.

Here is a video that illustrates one system. I love how the word *gibberish* is included.

The calligraphers will remember Pendance studio - maybe it is still around. Also there was that unbelievable beautiful dance performance that appeared in several places - maybe I can find it - and repost it. I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned on the blog - but it would be a looooong time ago.

I found it - and will add it to a post at the end of March.
