Minimum Movement Catalog
Share
Minimum Movement Catalog collects body movements to gather memories on bodies, find identities, and communicate through movement language.
Minimum Movement Catalog demonstration
Minimum Movement Catalog is an online movement lexicon created by interdisciplinary artist Maho Ogawa in collaboration with computer programmer Katherine Chuang.
This movement lexicon consists of 89 movement video clips in eight categories, started as research about Ogawa's Japanese-ness through body language, by archiving movements from the West and East, examining the kinetic and symbolic meaning of each movement language.
This movement lexicon is used as a movement notation in the creative process of Ogawa's video/ live performances, teaching method for movement classes, developed as a choreographic mural, and shared with the audience/viewers as process art.

Join us this Wednesday at 4:30 for the second event of The Movement-Image: an exhibition and performance series I curated at Princeton. Maho Ogawa will activate her Choreographic Score Mural with dancers Annie Wang and jay beardsley. First image is the Choreographic Score Mural from the exhibition, subsequent images are of Maho making the score using her body as measure. Each line in the mural corresponds to a movement in the . This exhibition practices a kind of disciplinary indifference to the distinctions between performance and film, and Choreographic Score Mural Demo in particular makes images out of moving bodies in a way that is both drawing and dance!

Choreographic Score Mural (2022 Maho Ogawa)
Choreographic Score Mural is an abstract map of human bodies, a mural version of Maho Ogawa's online movement database, Minimum Movement Catalog.
Each line in the mural expresses a visual movement score from the Minimum Movement Catalog Bending B-01, B-02, B-03, B-08, B-11, B-12, B-13, B-15, B-17, B-20, B-22, B-23.
Viewers can embody the Bending movements by placing your body along these lines.
The mural is open to be activated by viewers as a communication tool for movement language.
Choreographic Score Mural Demo:
By chance, dancers select and enact one or two Bending movements from the Choreographic Score Mural.
The spontaneous combinations of abstract lines created by dancers occur only once to disclose the philosophy of Ichigo-Ichie in Japanese Culture; right now, this moment is once in a lifetime.
This multipurpose installation aims to be observed as a public mural, sharing movement scores with viewers, and performed by dancers (1~5 performers), questioning how to create communication methods bridging movement and visual language, appreciating and challenging for both the act of recording and ephemerality, re-evaluating the subjectivity of movement language.
