Using unconventional music notation gives freedom to the performers and opens up to opportunities to see the whole form in detail while remaining free to realize performance details. Bogusław Schaeffer's compositional idea of 'possibilities of music’ including the openness of form, indeterminacy and unconventional notation of music became an inspiration for work on the development of a common language of sound, movement and notation. No matter whether the starting point is movement, sound or visual phenomena we may try to measure analogies or differences in mutual relations between these elements and in our reactions to them. The graphic score can play an important role in developing the skills of movement improvisation, instrumental improvisation, the ability to combine music with movement and the shaping of stage expression. Working on the quality of movement is in fact the creation of awareness of body and connection between movement and music through the joint inspiration of elements of graphic music. It is an attempt at integration and association between the arts.
