Wasilly Kadisnky was a designer famous for his abstract paintings pioneering expressionism in the early 1900's. He developed theories on colour, lines, points and shape in his time in the Bauhaus school, where he analysed various art and deducted them to their simplest forms (shapes).
In relation to my concept, Kadisnsky's essay titled 'Dance Curves' which references images of german dancer, Gret Palucca and his deductions of her movements into shapes and lines. According to him, he illustrated the "simplicity of the whole form" and the "construction of the large form" with the structure based on Palucca's large movements.
Regarding this technique, I think it is quite reflective of his theories and his work. Although it's abstract it still effectively shows the stature/silhouette of the dancer which still makes it legible and understandable, though in its simplest form. In reference to my own design, it may apply to the dance moves that I am trying to map, as they are big movements although not as 'liney' and 'curved' as ballet dance moves that are shown Kadinsky's designs. If I was to reference this design, I will need to make sure that the audience will at at least understand the stature layout with minimal instructions needed.
