SB1: Research (Dance Notations)

Choosing Idea #4 as my chosen idea to take forward I decided to research more into the different aspects which comes to learning dance. I thought of these points which I could explore further into.

Dance Notations

1800 - used for formal court dances focused just on the dancer's feet BUT...
1920 - Rudolf Laban 0 created revolutionary 'Labanotation' records not just positions of body but also the way they are executed.
1955 - Rudolf Benesh developed notation with clearer visuals of dancer's body rather than symbolic forms e.g. shapes.

Benesh 'Movement Notation is written on five-line stave, recording the dancer from behind. 'Choreology' the term used for dance notation in conjunction with Benesh Movement Notation.

TODAY, notation is more for recording and preservation of dance rather than crafting, making it, choreographers not literate in the system and have their own creative process and methods for dance preservations.

Benesh Movement Notation is mostly used for ballet for accruate recording of moves and points in which ballet dancers are in or doing. It uses the stave in music record movement.

Rudolf Laban - "Kinesphere' 

"the sphere around the body whose periphery can be reached by easily extended limbs without stepping away from that place which is the point of support when standing on one foot". Spherical space around the body shifts as soon as we shift our weight. Though is more elliptic than spherical as the average body has a wider area of reach forward than backward. 

"Body cross" The kinesphere is also the container of a cube which contains all diagonal directions and dimensions).
