Developed by Noa Eshkol and Abraham Wachmann in the 1950s, Eshkol-Wachman Movement Notation (EWMN) is a polyphonic notation system treating different parts of the body as separate instruments. This new edition of the original 1958 publication embeds EWMN in contemporary discourses on dance and movement.
Noa Eshkol (1924–2007) was an Israeli artist and choreographer who co-developed a system of notation for dance. During the Yom Kippur War, Eshkol began creating tapestries made of found or donated fabric. This publication focuses on these tapestries, highlighting a unique instance of the relationship between modern art and dance.
