Eshkol-Wachman Movement Notation

Eshkol-Wachman Movement Notation is a systematic way to record and analyze human movement. It uses a set of symbols and diagrams to precisely describe how parts of the body move in space and time. Developed by mathematician Abraham Wachman and dancer Noa Eshkol, this notation allows detailed documentation of gestures, dance performances, or physical activities, making it possible to study, compare, and recreate movement patterns accurately. Think of it as a specialized language for capturing body motion, enabling consistent communication and analysis of complex body dynamics across disciplines like dance, therapy, and anthropology.
