[Sw-l] A Filipino gesture, Pagmamano, written in MovementWriting

[Ms. AnnaGrace]

Hi Sutthikhun,

Last December you shared the poster about handwashing
<https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/72/%22How_to_handwash%3F%22_by_WHO_%282015%29%2C_written_in_Sutton_SignWriting.png>
in
Sutton MovementWriting. I was blown away!

I think that anyone could learn Sutton MovementWriting to depict body
language, gestures, physical action, etc. It doesn't have to be restricted
to sign language or dancing. Your posters on the Mano gesture and
handwashing *exemplify* the resourcefulness of SMW which can transmit a
message more fully than written spoken language. (By the way, I love your
new poster on the Mano gesture! What a beautiful painting, too.)

Like the current use of musical notations on music sheets and mathematics,
Sutton MovementWriting can be understood internationally in spite of the
differences in spoken languages. Clearly, these symbols are not just for
deaf people or dancers. I believe anyone can use it for many other purposes
as well. As it is happening already, these symbols are being used
internationally. It is up to us to continue the spread and to maintain
these symbols by teaching and using them.

I hope you will make more posters. Please continue sharing them with us
here on the SW list!

Thanks,
AnnaGrace
