DANCEGRAPH: A WAY OF COHERENT RECORDING OF CROATIAN FOLK DANCES
Branko Kostelac
Sažetak
Here, Franjo Kuhač was the first to record folk dances in textual form, and Nikola Hercigonja and Vinko Žganec were the first to record them by using elements of music notation system. Vladimir Škreblin has invented his own way of recording by using descriptive sketches, and Ivan Ivančan has developed a dance noting system that includes dance script by Žganec, kinetography by Laban and textual description. Given its simplicity, the fact that it can be noted down very quickly, as well as its readability, Žganec's dance script has proved better than any other way of recording folk dances in our domestic practice, and thus served as a basis for creation of dancegraph (plesogram). Since there has been need for numerous additional signs in Žganec's script, Branko Kostelac has created them following Žganec's original idea, but also took some signs from Laban's kinetography. Dancegraph contains five groups of signs that follow the music sheets, and a sign for a choreographic forms, mutual holding of dancers, leg and arm movements, the direction of movement in space and additional signs. This all encompasses the entirety of the dance structure. The dancegraph is practical for all kinds of usage, and, together with contemporary video films, it is a sufficient ground for understanding and teaching of dance.
