Benesh Movement Notation

Benesh Movement Notation is a systematic way to record dance and movement using symbols and diagrams. Developed by Rudolf and Joan Benesh, it captures the details of body positions, movements, and rhythms in a visual format. This notation allows dancers, choreographers, and researchers to communicate and preserve choreography and movement sequences without video documentation. It breaks down complex movements into understandable symbols, making it easier to learn and teach dance across different styles. In essence, it's a written language for movement that helps ensure the continuity and interpretation of dance performance.
