MDPE.21:2.1 - Begin with a representative recurrence

Name one result that should recur after the initial novelty has passed. Examples include:

  • dancers can use a changed partnering and timing practice with unfamiliar partners at a social event;
  • musicians can learn, rehearse, vary, and perform a rhythmic or timbral language beyond the founding ensemble;
  • teachers can develop capability without reducing the style to copied figures or one recorded phrase;
  • listeners, partners, judges, curators, or sensing Systems can discriminate a relied-on difference under the conditions where their response changes later Work.

State what continuity must survive and what variation remains valuable. If the project cannot name a desired recurrence, return to MDPE.1; it may be producing one work rather than developing a style line.
