Movement Notation
Noa Eshkol and Abraham Wachmann
KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin, 2023
Noa Eshkol and Abraham Wachmann focused dance on its basic element: the movement of the human body. They treated the different parts of the body as separate instruments, similar to the musical instruments of an orchestra—each with its own rules for the movements to be performed. This new edition of the 1958 publication is supplemented by contributions from Eshkol’s companions and further archive material that contextualizes and supplements the history of the EWMN’s origins and embeds it in contemporary discourses on dance and movement.
The book is published in the context of the performance Pause: The Noa Eshkol Chamber Dance Group at KW Institute for Contemporary Art (August 2023) and the exhibition Noa Eshkol: No Time to Dance at the Georg Kolbe Museum (March 15–August 25, 2024). The new edition was developed together with the Noa Eshkol Foundation for Movement Notation.
Texts by John G Harries; Michal Shosani and Humi Einbinder; Mor Bashan and Dror Shoval
