SESSIONS Paper The movement opposition as motivic microstructure in traditional dances FÜGEDI, János - Hungary A new approach to investigating the correlation of movements in traditional dances was initiated by Laban’s movement vector concept. The approach resulted in revealing substructures in traditional dances which can be found beyond the structural units of repetitive movement sequences referred to as motives. The substructures proved to be expressive ones including the concept of movement opposition and are thought discovering basic dance creation methods. The identification of substructures is expected as well to support setting the boundaries of similar motives of different dance types relating differently to the metric structure of the accompanying music. Beside representing movements in notation the presentation introduces the concepts using sections of archive films. János Fügedi Ph.D. is an ethnochoreologist and dance notator at the Institute for Musicology of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and a professor of Labanotation at the Hungarian Dance Academy. His main research area is notation of Central European (especially Hungarian) ethnic dances, notation theory, movement and dance analysis, notation education and computer application of dance notation. He is a fellow member of ICKL since 1989, was a member of the Research Panel of ICKL between 1989-1999, chair of the RP between 1995-1997. At present he’s the Vice Chair of the Executive Committee.
