A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Written by Rudolf Benesh, founder of Choreology, and revised by his wife, Joan, a former dancer with the Royal Ballet. It is a comprehensive account of the system of movement notation invented by the Beneshs and which is used all over the world by ballet and dance companies (most notably the Royal Ballet itself). For centuries choreographers had to rely on their memory to recreate the great ballets of the past and to teach by demonstarting the steps. The creation of a accurate and easily leant notation, as applicable to folk and modern dance as to ballet, will be a major bonus to the development of dance composition. The notations as based on five signs, set out, like music, on a five line stave and which are illustrated by Rudolf Benesh's original figure drawings. Containing extracts from the notation of folk and oriental dances, as well as ballet. This book will inspire dancers all over thw orld, as well as being applicable in other fields of movement, from physiotherapy to neurology.
