You are doing an amazing job. I have been slow to post your wonderful work because of a busy schedule, and partly because you are a very fast writer, and I am rather slow to post web pages ;-)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">So I am really glad you are posting directly on the SignWriting List, so at least your work is archived and when I get a chance to post the DanceWriting on the DanceWriting Site I will announce it.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">For those on the SignWriting List who may be wondering about the posts about DanceWriting, actually SignWriting is a part of a bigger system, Movement Writing, and all of the sections of Movement Writing (SignWriting, DanceWriting, MimeWriting, SportsWriting, and gesture analysis) use the same symbols. We only have one email list, so I hope it is useful for you to see some of the other uses for the system. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I have not forgotten older SignWriting related posts with questions about writing mime and gesture, here on the List, and I hope to start re-visiting some of those soon.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thank you everyone for your great questions and keep posting!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Val ;-)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">------------</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jun 22, 2021, at 3:25 PM, Sutthikhun Phaengphongsai <<a href="mailto:suttikunep@gmail.com" class="">suttikunep@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">Hello SW List members!<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">For anyone interested in writing body movement and also dancing, these are new examples of oriental ethnic dances following my previous project, DW for Burmese dance. Now it's time for <b class="">DW for Balinese dance</b>! What are Bali and Balinese? Bali is a province of Indonesia which is a country in Southeast Asia, and the westernmost of the Lesser Sunda Islands, and Balinese are the people or the language or the dancing or anything else of Bali.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Balinese traditional dance stands out so much in facial expression and movement of hands (especially hand gestures), limbs, head-neck, and torso twisting. Moreover, rapidly changing dynamics in movement is also a distinctive style of the Balinese dance. Seems interesting, right? So to write the dance pattern into DW, <b class="">I had to use so many symbols</b> to identify these movements specifically, and I'm sure that writing a DW for Balinese dance is worth a lot of these plentiful symbols! All of the writing follows the rules and instructions in the DanceWriting for Modern & Jazz Dance, an instruction textbook published in 1979 by Valerie Sutton (<a href="https://www.dancewriting.org/archive/dw0005_DanceWriting_For_Modern_and_Jazz_Dance_1979.pdf" class="">https://www.dancewriting.org/archive/dw0005_DanceWriting_For_Modern_and_Jazz_Dance_1979.pdf</a>).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The previous project of mine, <b class="">DW for Burmese traditional dance, is still being processed</b> and waits to be published when it's done!
