'Come on it must get someone going.... ' Hehe Saxon :) I got going and bumped into a dead-end. ;) Trying to imagine what you mean ...'movement phonemes', sounds intriguing if mysterious. In classical ballet where you have set positions i can sort of see what you might mean, you have plies (sp) arabesques as well as the positions, but in modern dancing which is full of contortions...? Care to elaborate? :) I was one half of a balancing/adagio duo for some years and worked in LV style productions etc, but wasn't aware that choreographers write movement down (other than mapping out movements across the stage perhaps)but maybe you mean classical? Wouldn't even know where to start How far did that project go? Cheers, Masha
