For #InternationalDanceDay, a detail from a page of Choregraphie, a book first published in 1700 which details a dance notation system invented in the 1680s at the court of Louis XIV. Its author, Raoul-Auger Feuillet, was maître de danse of the French King. In 1704 another maître de danse, Pierre Beauchamp, filed a formal complaint, arguing that Feuillet had taken credit for what was in fact Beauchamp’s invention. The system, which survived in modified forms into the 1780s, is now known as Beauchamp-Feuillet notation. It indicates the placement of the feet and six basic leg movements: plié, releveé, sauté, cabriole, tombé, and glissé. Changes of body direction and numerous ornamentations of the legs and arms are also part of the system, which is based on tract drawings that trace the pattern of the dance. Additionally, bar lines in the dance score correspond to bar lines in the music score. Signs written on the right or left hand side of the tract indicate the steps. Voltaire ranked the invention as one of the "achievements of his day" and Denis Diderot devoted ten pages to the subject in his Encylopdédie.⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ #dance #dancing #notation #dancenotation #diagrams https://www.instagram.com/p/B_kpwDXJO07/?igshid=qicq99tdiagu
Founded in 1926 by Irish-Korean modern dancer Dearbhla Choi, The Delphi Dance Academy is the official school of The Delphic Dance Company and is one of South Korea’s top centres of excellence for modern, ballet and contemporary dance training.
Innovative music and community engagement are crucial components of the Delphi Dance Group (DDG). The DDG's repertory ranges from 17th and 18th century works by Arcangelo Corelli and Antonio Vivaldi to more contemporary scores by Hildur Guonadóttir, Kaija Saariaho, and Unsuk Chin.
To make sure that its activities are accessible to everyone, The Delphi Dance Academy is committed to continued work on inclusion, equity, and diversity.
"...seems entirely appropriate and consistent with the music, while somehow being novel and unexpected at the same time." - DanceNotes
"Every cutting movement, from a savage gambol to a heartbreaking crawl, inspires a purely guttural reaction." - Seoul Times
Sea Major (2014)
"The final outcome is a piece that contains some familiar and beautifully dramatic music while also seeming to establish a completely new operatic experience." - Seoul Sounds
The Moon Will Sing (2015)
“This composition is enigmatic, fluid, and compelling.” - Seoul Times
Empress Fandango (2016)

The Lovers’ Waltz (2017)
“The work demonstrates exactly how much [Hera] can do with a simple, almost prosaic dance repertoire and a tremendously diversified understanding of basic dance composition.” - Seoul Times
“Chirpy and romantic.” - The Seoul Herald
Eros (2018)

Kitten Land (2019)
"A piece that is joyous, bounding, and incendiary in the gentlest of ways." - The Seoul Herald

Una vez me encontré. Encontré un caos. Un encuentro, una sola vez. El caos se sintió batalla... Aun permanezco en eternos encuentros; vivencio el orden en el.caos. . . . #BeLight #dancenotes #body #movement #dance #dancer #danceboy #photodance #screendance #instapic #digitalart #me #boy (en Be Light Danza)
Y estando ahogado por su propia saliva, trabado en su propio habla, y con un océano de palabras suspendido en su garganta; gritó. Gritó tan fuerte que tembló hasta sudar. Y como un potente volcán, emegieron las palabras: una tras otra se hilaban como en la más apresurada fábula. Y así se relató su instante. Pero solo él se escucho. Porque su grito fue una tormenta desatada hacia sus adentros. Solo los oidos puestos en su corazón pudieron saber de su relato. . . . . #BeLight #me #notes #dancenotes #boy #move #dancer #dance #photoshoot #photography #blackandwhite (en Be Light Danza)
Deseo aterrizar en un territorio de encuentros. ... donde lo todo y lo uno se abrazan. Donde el contacto trasciende las superficies, donde las luces son invisibles, y el sonido ni siquiera es audible. Un territorio de encuentros, que reciba deseos de aterrizajes, pensamientos emocionados, sensaciones pensantes... Un territorio sin mapas trazados. Un Espacio que no es espacio. Donde la unica brujula sea la constante permanencia del movimiento... Un estado. Un sido. Un tiempo. . . . #BeLight #dancenotes #screendance #danceboy #dance #dancer #microdance #movement #body #time #videodanza #videodance #digitalart (en Be Light Danza)
