               ABSTRACT

               Benesh Movement Notation is a two-dimensional  system
               for  recording  human movement in three dimensions of
               space.  It has been successfully used in the prepara-
               tion  of scores for a wide repertoire of dances.  The
               preparation  and  revision  of  Benesh  scores  is  a
               lengthy and error-prone process which computer graph-
               ics and interactive editing  techniques  can  greatly
               facilitate.   The  aim  is  to  make editing movement
               scores as easy and convenient as editing  text.   The
               design, implementation and user interface of a proto-
               type editing system for Benesh notation will be  dis-
               cussed.

               Coffee and refreshments will be served at 3:00 PM.
