The goal of this study is to uncover and understand the user's perception of spatial features as they interact with cultural heritage in a virtual environment.

For centuries the dance/music of African people has been passed between generations by a mouth to ear process. Any society that is …

The overview of the theories is supported by a selection from a comparatively large amount of Laban kinetography, found in Olga Szentpál’s legacy. The use of notation in the Szentpál School comprised historical and traditional dance research just as well as introducing …
