Tania Candiani

In the series, Candiani works with the mathematical qualities of traditional Mexican dances. The artist worked from the choreographic notation methodology developed by Zacarías Segura Salinas and presented in the book Danzas Folkloricas de Mexico. The study presented in the book seeks to detail the choreographies, so that it is possible to record all the dance movements considering that movements such as the zapateado had no previous codification.

Translations and codification are constant procedures in Candiani’s production. Dance Scores deals with the codification presented in the study by Segura Salinas and also with the symbolic qualities of frame embroidery
