Video & Score Excerpts
The Notated Theatrical Dances Collection Digital Archive offers a dynamic, curated collection of video and score excerpts that illuminate the artistry and technique of dance, making it an essential tool for both aspiring and experienced Labanotation practitioners to explore, assess, and stage choreographic works.
The Notated Theatrical Dances (NTD) Collection Digital Archive is a valuable resource designed to deepen understanding of dance choreography through visual and notational means. By offering video and score excerpts, the archive allows users to explore a diverse range of dance styles, technical complexities, and score-reading nuances. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced Labanotation practitioner, this Digital Archive serves as a practical tool to help you select dances that align with your educational or staging needs. The curated excerpts provide insight into both the aesthetic and technical aspects of each work, enhancing users’ ability to assess choreography with greater precision and understanding.
Although the archive features a carefully chosen subset of scores, it does not represent the full scope of the Dance Notation Bureau’s NTD collection. Each selected piece highlights significant choreographic works from the DNB Library, offering a glimpse into a variety of movement styles, technical challenges, and scores possibilities. This thoughtfully curated selection enables users to access key examples of dance notation, showcasing diverse approaches to movement, structure, and expression. The archive provides a focused yet comprehensive view of the evolution of dance, making it an indispensable resource for anyone interested in studying the technical and artistic intricacies of dance notation and choreography.
