Notation and Creative Practice: Special Issue

Notation supports analytical understanding of perceived movement by encouraging acquisitions of domain-specific knowledge. It generates exploration and creation of movement by providing a purpose and intention, stimulating and rewarding curiosity and exploration, providing opportunities for choice and discovery, and encouraging confidence and a willingness to take risks. It can promote self-competition by building motivation and developing self-management (metacognitive skills) that provide strategies for facilitating creative exploration. Creativity involves the act of idea generation, incubation, illumination, curiosity, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and the will to produce and share with others. Using notation integrates theory with practice, a lived synthesis, albeit a learning experience that refines theories and ideas as one acts them out in the real world in creative praxis. How does notation support the creative process? In this Special Issue, we share articles that reveal how people are interested in using notation to generate their approaches to creativity.
