vDance ScoresThis catalog represents the Dance Notation Bureau’s (DNB) collection of notated theatricaldances. This is not a complete list of the holdings of the DNB but does portray a large portion ofthe most frequently requested material used by stagers and researchers worldwide. It includesscores in Labanotation but not scores notated in other forms of notation, e.g., Benesh.A dance score is analogous to a music score. It is the representation of an ephemeral art in atangible format. It is usually created at the time the work is being staged. In addition to thedetails of the dance steps, a score contains floor patterns and information about the motivationsand nuances as detailed by the choreographer or stager as the work is refined. It also details therelationship of the dance to the music. The dance score is laid out in measures that correspond tothe music measures. There are exceptions to this, as with Doris Humphrey’s Water Study, whichis performed to silence, or works such as Paul Taylor’s Speaking in Tongues, which is set toMatthew Patton’s music for magnetic tape. Dance scores allow time for studying a particularmovement without distorting it or losing the sense of the movement by slowing it down. Theyalso allow study of the movement without the obstruction of lights, costume, props, etc.The scores generally contain additional information in an introductory portion of the document.This information can cover such topics as historical, stylistic, and production information, aswell as bibliographies and cast lists.Some of the scores listed in this catalog are incomplete but have been included because they maycontain valuable information. The scores that are older may not adhere to current standards ofnotation. Some scores are notation projects of students, and some are not even available to thepublic. These have all been included to show the diversity, uniqueness, and importance of theNotated Theatrical Dances Collection at the Dance Notation Bureau.

viDance Notation Bureau LibraryThe Dance Notation Bureau Library maintains one of the world’s major collections of dance andmovement notation scores. The backbone of the library is its unique collection of over 700Labanotation scores of western theatrical dances. These dances represent more than 160choreographers, and many are accompanied by supplementary production information. Eachyear the DNB adds four to ten new scores to this impressive collection of theatrical dances. Thecollection also includes folk and non-western dances, information on current and historicalnotation systems, technique studies, educational materials, examples of notating sports, andstudies on animal movement patterns. The collection comprises the major portion of Mary JaneWarner’s Labanotation Scores: An International Bibliography and has been inventoried by theNew York Historical Documents Inventory (HDI).The DNB Library provides a unique collection of source materials for research, thus promoting anew kind of scholarly inquiry. The library serves researchers, historians, critics, teachers,students, college and university dance departments, dance companies, choreographers, notators,and stagers worldwide.The DNB Library is divided into the Archive, Research Collection, and Circulating Collection.Marjorie Isaac ArchiveThe Marjorie Isaac Archive is a manuscript repository of over 770 original pencil Labanotationscores, along with original support materials such as the marked music score and/or subsequentlynotated choreographic revisions. The original manuscripts are inventoried and carefully storedin acid-free folders and boxes.The DNB Library has an ongoing cooperative effort with the New York Public Library (NYPL)to microfilm the original pencil Labanotation scores. The microfilm negative is stored in theNYPL’s 42nd Street vault. One positive copy of the microfilm is kept at the NYPL’s DanceCollection. The remaining positive copy is kept in the DNB Collection at the Jerome Lawrenceand Robert E. Lee Theatre Research Institute of the Ohio State University.Access to the Archive is limited to the DNB librarian. Researchers may request individual filesfor supervised study in the Library Reading Room.Research CollectionCombined with the Archive, the Research Collection is the heart of the DNB Library. It is fromthe Research Collection that materials are made available to researchers, stagers, and students.The Research Collection has several components, the largest being the Master File. The MasterFile contains a copy of the original Labanotation score photocopied onto acid-free paper (masterpreservation copy). The Master File also contains materials that supplement the notated score:marked music scores, costume sketches, costume patterns, fabric swatches, light plots, setinformation, programs, newspaper clippings, photographs, and correspondence. TheLabanotation score, combined with the above-mentioned supplementary materials, provides the

viiresearcher with vital information about a particular dance that can only be found in the DNBLibrary.A second component of the Research Collection is the audiovisual collection: audiotapes, CDs,films, videotapes and DVDs that supplement the Labanotation score. The Research Collectionalso includes the following collections: folk and non-western dances; classroom exercisesdemonstrating a variety of dance techniques; photographs; the Richard Holden Collection ofdances recorded in Benesh Movement Notation; the Knust Collection; and the PublicationsArchive.Access to the Research Collection is limited to the DNB librarian. Researchers may requestindividual files for supervised study in the Library Reading Room.Circulating CollectionThe Circulating Collection consists of photocopies of the Labanotation scores and materialsrelated to the dances, i.e. music CDs, DVDs, books, periodicals, and other supplementary datadesigned to enhance the user's understanding of the dance. The circulating scores are intendedfor hands-on use with few restrictions, with performances subject to contractual arrangements.The Circulating Collection contains additional information that is helpful to the student andprofessional. There is an extensive collection of dance notation books including Labanotationtexts in foreign languages, books on other notation systems, and assorted dances published invarious notation systems. There is also a sizeable collection of curriculum materials, includingtheory examples, repertoire excerpts, sample course outlines, and visual aids. The TechnicalResearch File includes information on advanced theory topics, including recent developments inthe Labanotation system adopted by the International Council of Kinetography Laban (ICKL), anorganization formed in 1959 to assure the consistency and continued development of theLabanotation system. All dances recorded in Labanotation remain the property of the choreographer (or thechoreographer's estate). According to his or her wishes, the score may be made available eitherfor study, reconstruction or both. The DNB often serves as a liaison between the choreographer(or estate) and those who wish to use the score.

viiiPublic PerformanceDetermination of a Public PerformanceContractual arrangements must be made before a work can be publicly performed. Aperformance is legally public when anyone outside of family and close friends is invited to viewit, or the performance is in a place that is accessible to the public. Admission charge is not thedetermining factor. Student performances are subject to the same criteria as professionalperformances. The use of portions of a dance is subject to the same criteria as the whole dance.According to Public Law 94-553 (Oct. 19, 1976),To “perform” a work means to recite, render, play, dance, or act it, either directlyor by means of any device or process or, in the case of a motion picture or otheraudiovisual work, to show its images in any sequence or to make the soundsaccompanying it audible.To perform or display a work “publicly” means –(1) to perform or display it at a place open to the public or at anyplace where a substantial number of persons outside of a normalcircle of a family and its social acquaintances is gathered; or(2) to transmit or otherwise communicate a performance or displayof the work to a place specified by clause (1) or to the public, bymeans of any device or process, whether the members of the publiccapable of receiving the performance or display receive it in thesame place or in separate places and at the same time or atdifferent times.The following are some often-asked questions and their answers regarding whether or not aperformance is public.Q:Is it a public performance if Humphrey’s Invention is taught in a repertory class,and at the end of the semester, the students show what they have learned to theother students in the class?A:No. This is not a public performance because the work will be shown in the classroom tothe students’ classmates.Q:Is it a public performance if Paul Taylor’s Esplanade is taught in a similarrepertory class, and at the end of the semester, the students want their family andfriends to attend class to see what they have learned?A:No. This is not a public performance because only family and friends have been invited,and the work will be shown in the classroom setting.

ixQ:Is it a public performance if the performance includes some costumes and/or otherproduction elements?A:Perhaps. Costumes and production elements are not a factor in determining publicperformance. Who is invited and where the dance is performed determine publicperformance. However, once costumes and production elements are added, a wider circleof people is often invited, resulting in a public performance.Q:Is it a public performance if the students and teacher put up posters or distributefliers announcing that the showing is open to any student or faculty member who wouldlike to attend?A:Yes. This is now a public performance because the audience has been extended beyondthe family and classmates.Q:Is it a public performance if Limón’s A Choreographic Offering is taught in a classat a summer festival? There may or may not be people other than the students'classmates attending the end of the summer workshop performance. Theperformance has been advertised in the festival’s catalogue.A:Yes. The performance was scheduled and announced in advance so that other peoplemight attend.Obtaining a Contract for Public PerformanceThe DNB can make contractual arrangements for the public performance of many of the dancesthat have Labanotation scores housed in the library. For the remaining dances, the DNB acts as areferral service, providing information about whom to contact. There are several types of feesinvolved in a reconstruction contract. The choreographer (or estate) establishes and is paid bothlicense and royalty fees. A license typically lasts one year and grants permission to perform thedance during the stated period. Royalty fees are quoted on a per performance basis. The DNBservice fee covers the administrative costs of negotiating a contract and the provision of librarymaterials. Other fees include the restager’s fee, travel, hotel and per diem (if applicable); and thestylistic coach's fee, travel, hotel and per diem (if applicable).For any questions or more specific information regarding public performances, please contact theDirector of Programs (kristinjackson@dancenotation.org).
