<x-flowed iso-8859-1>Dear List,
there is actually an exibition on Nijinsky here in Paris at the MusČe 
d'Orsay. The museum produced a 26 minutes documentary on the "PrČlude 
ż l'aprĖs-midi d'un Faune" score reconstruction/restoration (in 
Kinetography). I've been asked to make a Life Forms short sequence 
based on the score. I asked to work with Simon Hecquet, one of the 
french best notators, and also teaching, at the Paris 8 University 
Dance Department. There are about 7 minutes in the film on our work. 
This is of about notation and Lifeforms issues and might interest 
some of you.

The documentary is projected in a room of the MusČČ d'Orsay all the 
day lonf untill the ed of the exibition. There is a Secam and a Pal 
version in french. It will be broadcasted on the "Muzzic" french 
cable television and is on sale at the museum shop. Although not 
going very deep for the short time, the work was very interesting for 
us and I hope that it can be of some interest for those of you that 
are working in the topic.

All the best to all of you.
