CHOREOGRAPHER's notations




















This is my mother's notation for her Bharatanatyam Dance Composition. The Primary movements or steps (ADAVU) are recorded as simple human figures. This is a very personal form of representation for each and every Indian Artist. 

Western / Contemporary Laban Movement Analysis is different from this. The idea of notation and composing through drawings is a common method in both.
