MDPE.15:4.2 - State what will and will not change

Describe the target through its own kind and identity conditions. Useful subjects include:

  • a named musical or movement-material entity;
  • one Method or Method part whose identity continues through the change;
  • a new Method variant related to, but not identical with, its source;
  • one MethodDescription or performance description;
  • a capability of one human, robot, AI, pair, ensemble, or hybrid holder;
  • one instrument, body interface, software, robot, venue, or enabling configuration;
  • one teaching, rehearsal, performance, event, curation, recognition, or selection arrangement; or
  • one locally maintained repertoire member or branch.

State protected characteristics and boundaries. For a Dance change these may include weight transfer, partner-readable pressure, effort, balance, floorcraft, consent, rhythmic interpretation, style-bearing distinctions, and bodily variability. For a Music change they may include pitch, rhythm, pulse, timbre, articulation, breath, gesture, ensemble cueing, latency, performer control, and musical plausibility. Select only those that can change the present decision.
