Abstract

Labanotation is a system of dance notation with a history of use stretching from the late 19th century to today. This paper examines that history, the technical elements of Labanotation, and different applications of Labanotation. This paper examines the use of Labanotation in many different contexts, including in the SUNY Geneseo piece Hebrides Suite. I also examine how Labanotation succeeds at representing the three-dimensional act of dance on paper
