The Use of Labanotation for Choreographing a Noh-Play

Abstract

This paper aims at description and reproduction of the body motion of stylized traditional dances by using fundamental elements of Labanotation while keeping the quality of body movement of CG character animation. We propose and implement a dynamic template technique enabling users to notate stylized traditional dances and reproducing it in 3D CG animation from a Labanotation score.
