A combination of notation and video is the ideal method for documenting your work. You may want to include a plan for documenting your work early in the process of making it. While Dance Notation Bureau is a nonprofit service organization, the time and expense of notation precludes the organization from notating the work of everyone who applies. The strategy of appointing a knowledgeable person to care for your art applies equally well to dance. With adequate time and thought you may be able to find a trusted friend or colleague who understands the special needs of your work. Remember that this person may not be the same person who deals with the rest of your estate.
