| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to find out dance idioms and vocabularies in Japanese old dance style through the notation system. In more details, this research objects are maiden dance (MIKO-MAI) in four shrines, KASUGATAISYA, KOTOHIRAANJA, DEWASAZANWNJA, SUMIYOSHITAISYA. These dances don't have names refer to movement forms and series which are called dance idioms or movement vocabularies academically. In this study, movements unit have been extracted from the flow of dance through the score notated by using the Your Move Notation system which is one of an application of LABANOTATION. Then the images in DVD and PC through editorial soft have used effectively as an observational tool to identify the unit of movements and the characteristic movement. Then observational points are repetition and pose.
Through the investigation on repetition and pose in movement series the various symmetrical foams appeared. It is said that symmetrical design are holly symbol derived from 'Silk Road. Therefore it could be said we see or experience holly symbols through NIKO-MAI. Moreover this research could show the idioms and/or vocabularies which we had not been able to identify by verbal symbols such as words. It could be said Notation System is very useful researching tool for dance.
In addition through this study historical materials could have been collar-tad. These are important to think the ceremonial movement and dance in Japanese culture semantically. These human movements have to be safeguarded from the point of view of Intangible Heritage.
