Valerie Sutton and DanceWriting of the pose
'DanceWriting' is a form of
dance notation. Developed in
1972 by
Valerie Sutton, it is part of a greater body of work called
MovementWriting or the
International Movement-Writing Alphabet.
DanceWriting uses
figurative and
abstract symbols on a five-staff stave (the
Western music notation stave). It is similar in appearance to
Benesh Movement Notation.
There are many other forms of dance notation, such as
Labanotation and
Benesh Movement Notation.
