Benesh Movement Notation was devised by Rudolf and Joan Benesh and first published in 1956. It is a concise, accurate and versatile written system for recording all forms of human movement. BMN is most widely used in the recording and restaging of dance works, where it has proved invaluable, both as a daytoday tool in the rehearsal studio, and as a means of preserving our dance heritage. But the Benesh system is, and can be, much more than a means of recording theatre dance. It has been used successfully by anthropologists, by physiotherapists to analyse and record patient movement, and even in an ergonomic study of seating in an airport.
