Employing a notator to record your choreographic repertoire allows you:
-
to document the choreographic intention as opposed to video, which records one specific interpretation
-
to keep detailed records of a work for use in future restaging including authorised alternative versions, comprehensive records of floor plans and the use of props, accurate analysis of musical phrasing and ‘dancers’ counts’ and notes about the movement quality and interpretation gathered during the creation of the work
-
to use your notator as an authoritative resource when rehearsing or restaging the work, teaching alternative casts or staging the work for another company
-
to save time and therefore money when preparing a work for performance as the score enables the notator to teach even large scale works very quickly and efficiently
-
to use your notator to assist choreographers in the creative process by keeping records of work in progress
-
to protect the choreographic copyright by producing the movement text in fixed form
