MDPE.19:3.1 - Choose one continuation promise

State what must still be possible, for whom, where, and over what horizon. Include:

  • the subject—for example, a partnered-improvisation Method, a rhythmic accompaniment practice, a work in active repertoire, or a robotic performance configuration;
  • representative Work that matters to the intended use;
  • the practitioner population, place, and period;
  • the distinctions that must persist and the variations that remain acceptable; and
  • one credible change under which reproduction matters.

Prefer a claim that can fail. “Keep Tarraxo alive” is too broad. A testable promise is: “during the next season, at least two teacher-organizer pairs can run a social Tarraxo practice in which dancers use the admitted timing, partner-response, and improvisation Method with varied partners and music, even when the present lead teacher is absent.”

If the project cannot name representative Work or continuity discriminators, return that gap to MDPE.1, MDPE.18, or the direct Music or Dance Method. Do not manufacture a reproduction test from a genre label.
