Abstract text:	Eight short sequences of dance were filmed as a part of a larger arts-science project on choreography and cognition. Eleven professional dancers viewed these sequences and ìparsedî them into units of movement. In this paper we describe the methodology and present three ways of representing the quantitative data: piano rolls, overlap traces and densities of agreement. The properties of these representations are outlined and discussed in the context of wider debates about methods for recording movement, formal notational systems for dance, and the possibility of developing tools for exploring the perceptions of audiences.

The Reprint Request service is currently unavailable. The webform interface is not passing on your requests despite saying it has. PDF's of articles are also not available unless specifically linked from the record under the link field. Open Access papers are accessible this way when available. We are not able to fulfill pdf requests due to copyright and contractual restrictions. Inclusion in the Bibliography does not mean that a copy is available, this is foremost a record of the unit's work. Papers marked 'In Press' have not been published so are not available. Books and tests are also not available for copying. These are commerical products and you will need to buy them, or indeed contact your local library service to get a copy. If a record is from a conference and does not show more than one page number then the record/abstract on the page is the complete record. These are mainly a record of participation in a conference, such as a poster or a talk. Some of these records represent literally nothing more than a line.
