MDPE.24:4.1 - One choreo-camp versus a persistent network

One camp brings teachers and learners together, records classes, and publishes videos. That can be an event and a set of Work occurrences inside an existing dance scene. Visibility, international attendance, and repeated branding do not yet require a new whole.

A persistent network becomes a serious candidate when recurring teaching, travel, status, booking, publication, and learner-migration relations hold it together; it retains repertoire and memory across individual camps; teacher and phrase selection changes over time; and the network changes how dancers train and choreographers create material in several cities. The project then compares two practical choices: improve one event/provider, or treat the network’s boundary, architecture, persistence, access, and downward effects as the engineering subject. If persistence and cross-city effects are only asserted, the result stays open and names the observation.
