mode de valeurs et d'intensité - lifeforms / dance forms


first beginning with lifeforms/danceforms again, after a very long time, by now only possible on old MacBookPro mid 2009 (El Capitan) not on the others. 

too many parameters in dance? because of the addition of not only body-parts but also space/place AND intensity / tension level - or so it seems. 

it may be possible to match width in shape / extension with visibility (e.g. 12,5 degrees to 30 to 45 etc. different from the previous = small or large) weight, effort = or play with reversing them within. 

directions, sudden or sustained changes, jumps, sidders/shivers, ripples, hard and softening, release etc.

tone height = space height / level is the simplest and easiest => adapt into 3D and movement 

** I can physically sense the effect that Thecla Schiphorst described when explaining why she intentionally did not have ready/snap shapes available, it is indeed working, even a simple port des bras forces me to evaluate how I move my shoulders, arm joints, where do I rotate of flex. 

Nevertheless for choreographing a sketch of movements as notation this is eventually too cumbersome, short cuts would be necessary, like the ones I've suggested and had an idea of using the keyboard for, a 45 degree scale, low middle high, arms options of straight (default) or rounded (extra modification)
