The use of Kinetography Laban in my study of the Alevi semah opened up some opportunities as well as dilemmas. Despite its vast benefits, notation only partially helps to shed light over native understandings and interpretations of movements and ritual actions. My engagement with this tool becomes a resource for questioning the local strategies that have been used in the past to conceptualize and represent the body and its movements in an Alevi context. In a self-reflective mode this paper discusses my choices in producing a handmade poster while presenting some of the kinetographs produced as part of my fieldwork research.
