@michael_nielsen Just love to imagine this language -- one we don't often see on the page.
@RiffSublime I learnt of the notation at a talk by the director of Opera Atelier, who revived dance from baroque opera using dance notation!

@michael_nielsen When I first saw a dance script, I was fascinated by how irretrievable choreography was before motion could be filmed. -

@RiffSublime The ephemeral nature of dance, or any performance, always seems a little sad to me. So much that's amazing vanishes. - 1 more reply

@michael_nielsen So how beautiful that the director was able to bring that baroque dance back to life! Would be fascinating to see it. -
@RiffSublime I gather that Opera Atelier specializes in that kind of revival (http://www.operaatelier.com ). I have not yet seen them perform. - 1 more reply
