Benesh Movement Notation is a system used to record and analyze human movement, particularly in dance and physical performance. Developed by Rudolf Benesh and Joan Benesh in the 1950s, it uses a series of symbols and lines to represent the body’s position, movement, and dynamics on a staff-like framework. This notation allows choreographers and dancers to document and communicate complex movements clearly and efficiently. It serves as a valuable tool for preserving dance works, facilitating teaching, and enabling performers to understand and recreate specific movements accurately.
