MDPE.5:0 - Use This When

Use this pattern when the direct Music or Dance performance Method and the needed production, venue, sound, recording, access, safety, publication, and operations Methods have supplied—or can supply—their own results, but the project has not yet shown that those results can work together for one intended Music-or-Dance Work occurrence. The unresolved question is whether production and presentation will preserve the artistic or participatory relations on which the intended use depends.

The recurring danger is local success with a failed whole. A costume works as a constructed object but blocks a movement. A camera records the stage but hides the relation between live code and sound that the audience was meant to encounter. A sound system operates but masks a timing relation on which partner Dance depends. A venue protects its operations by changing participation into passive viewing. Every specialist can complete valid Work while the performed Music or Dance fails its intended use.

The first useful result identifies one intended U.Work occurrence, its performers and intended participants or audience, the artistic or participatory relations that must survive production, the direct results already available, and the one unresolved relation most likely to prevent useful performance or presentation.

Use the direct performance, social-dance, event, stage, venue, sound, light, recording, streaming, accessibility, safety, publication, and operations Methods for their own results. Use this pattern only for the remaining Music-and-Dance integration problem: whether those results jointly enable the intended Work and receiving use without silently changing either.

Do not use this pattern when:

  • material still needs to be created, interpreted, improvised, or compared (MDPE.9, MDPE.11);
  • performer capability or the performing whole is the current difficulty (MDPE.10, MDPE.3);
  • one direct production Method already returns the performed Music-or-Dance Work occurrence, receiving conditions, artifacts, limits, and next decision for this use;
  • only a generic venue, safety, platform, organization, or operations result is missing; or
  • the Music-or-Dance Work already occurred and the question concerns observation, judgement, recognition, selection, or cultural continuation (MDPE.12, MDPE.13, MDPE.19).
