  supreme particles: introduction to labanotation
labanotation is a system of analysing and recording of human movement.
labanotation is not connected to a singular, specific style of dance (unlike other dance notations e.g.: benesh notation is based on english classical ballet).
instead of using symbols, labanotation indicates the time a movement takes by the length of the symbol (or for jumps the length of the gap in the support column).

  Labanotation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Labanotation, or Kinetography Laban (as it is known in some parts of Europe) is a system of movement notation that is also used for dance notation.
Labanotation is used in a variety of settings including Laban Movement Analysis, dance notation, documentation and reconstruction, Movement analysis, Robotics, Human movement simulation and Human movement synthesis.
Motif Description is a subset of Labanotation that depicts the overall structure or essential elements of a movement sequence.

 Learning from Kyoto: Digital Archive of Traditional Performing Arts
Labanotation, a system that uses graphic symbols to record human body motion in dance (comparable to a music score), also plays a part in data retrieval.
Labanotation scores can be automatically generated from data obtained during motion capturing and can be used as a method to identify various dance patterns.
While Labanotation is not as accurate as motion capturing, which can measure motion down to one tenth of a millimeter, both methods are useful and will be combined in the database.

 Generating Labanotation from Motion-captured Human Body Motion Data   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Although the description by Labanotation is not necessarily accurate, it is compact and powerful enough to describe the overall body motion of dance and other intangible cultural properties.
The Labanotation data produced from motion capture data may also be used as an index for the archives of motion data.
Labanotation score is drawn in a form of vertical sta_ where each column represents the motion of a part of the body.

 Rudolf von Laban Movement Analysis, - for Actors and Dancers; Labanotation, Choreutics, Dance Concepts, Body, Space, ...
The basic symbol used in writing Labanotation is the rectangle, which is modified in shape to show direction of movement; in length to show duration of movement (rhythm); and in shade to show level.
Labanotation is written on a vertical, three-line staff, with the centre line representing division of the body into left and right halves and the two columns used for symbols indicating means of support and left and right leg gestures.
Labanotation is the most widely used of all movement-notation systems, for it incorporates all necessary directives in one set of symbols and clearly indicates the relation of one movement to those that precede and follow.

 The Design of LED: An X-Windows Mini-Editor for Labanotation
Labanotation is a language for representing human movement.
Labanotation is, however, a complex language and it can be very time consuming and painstaking to use.
In Labanotation, for example, where the score is a continuous piece, to change a few movements in the middle of a long sequence is not easy to accomplish.

 Advancement of Labanotation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Labanotation, invented by Rudolph Laban and first published in 1956, is a symbolic notation system used specifically to notate dance movement.
I argue that Labanotation is the most accurate way to document a dance and that the increased use of this notation would serve the dance community more effectively than any other system.
If Labanotation becomes more universal, it will be helpful for both archival purposes, and also when applied to current issues in dance.

 Introduction to Labanotation
During the jump the right leg is moved diagonal forward low (45 degrees) and the arms are moved from the starting position to straight down.
Therefore I wrote the signs for side right and place down and I added a bow to the symbols that means the movements should occur as one movement.
To record the movements of a specific part of the body a additional column is used and in front of each action in this column a body part sign or a "the same" sign is written.

Labanotation, the system of analyzing and recording movement.
Initiated by the movement genius Rudolf Laban, and refined through over 60 years of international use and study, Labanotation, the first wholly successful system for recording human movement, has had the effect on dance that the perfection of music notation during the Renaissance had on music.
Through Labanotation it is possible to record the changes in the angles of the limbs, the paths in space, and the flow of energy as well as addressing subtle distinctions of movement motivation and facial expression, making it possible to record for study and reconstruction the great dance creations.

 Colorado College | March 2006 Bulletin
Animation programmers approached Wang three years ago about a collaborative project while she was in China setting up the CC Biology-in-China program and presenting a workshop on Labanotation.
Wang is certified in both Labanotation and Laban Movement Analysis (LMA), two ways to notate and interpret movement based on the work of European dance theorist Rudolf Laban.
Labanotation uses symbols to record the dynamics of a dancer’s movement; LMA draws upon theory to describe and interpret movement through body, effort, shape, and space.

A very specific movement, described in great detail, might be that of a hand gesture as used in Spanish dance or an Asian sequence in which the fingers, one by one, perform a delicate, fluent folding, gathering action leading with the little finger, while the arm, moving in space, rotates outward.
The use of Labanotation has spread around the world, centres of activity being not only in the Europe and the USA but also in Australia, China, Malaysia, Mexico and South Africa.

Later, the famous ballet choreographer, Rudolf Laban, devised a system of notation (Labanotation - still used in dance today) in which he tried to represent not only the basic mechanics of a movement, but also what he called the effort-shape.
By this he meant the "style" or psychological purpose behind the movement.
