SignWriting List August 18, 2001 Writing a Sign Language Chorus sounds like a wonderful project, Stefan. Although this idea has been discussed before, I do not personally know of anyone doing it. Does anyone else know of such a project? Writing a Sign Language Chorus definitely can be done. The movements could be timed with the music, if you wish. I posted a little bit on timing on E-Lessons: Timing & Tempo Question 0048: Writing Signed Songs With Music https://www.SignWriting.org/lessons/elessons/less021.html Question 0049: Tempo or Speed of Movement, Part 1 https://www.SignWriting.org/lessons/elessons/less022.html Question 0049: Tempo or Speed of Movement, Part 2 https://www.SignWriting.org/lessons/elessons/less023.html Question 0049: Tempo or Speed of Movement, Part 3 https://www.SignWriting.org/lessons/elessons/less024.html Question 0049: Tempo or Speed of Movement, Part 4 https://www.SignWriting.org/lessons/elessons/less025.html Ironically, the writing of tempo and speed of movement fits with the discussion of Movement Dynamics...Writing movement to the counts of the music is where the dynamics symbols developed..in Part 4 of question 0049, you can see Gradual Movement Symbols being used to show the timing of the movement....historically that is where Gradual Symbols developed...because of timing issues... And writing the combination of dance, gesture, mime and signed languages is one of the reasons why SignWriting works....stemming from DanceWriting, it is a writing system that is capable of writing "Sign Language Theater", as well as formal structured Sign Languages. I remember one person, back in the 1980's, wrote a religious dance, that began with DanceWriting, but it also incorporated some Sign Language into the dance. This piece was performed dancing down the aisle of a church, during a Sunday service, in Oklahoma. And the piece was written in Movement Writing. I never received a copy of their document, though... So I hope you will share your writing with us, Stefan! -- Val ;-> ----------------------------- Valerie Sutton SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org SignWriting List Archives: https://groups.yahoo.com/group/sw-l/ To post a message to the SW List: |
