MDPE.5:2.3 - Find production choices that change Music or Dance
At each load-bearing relation, ask what a locally reasonable production choice changes for the performer or participant. Useful probes include:
- Can performers hear, see, feel, or predict the cues their Method needs?
- Does costume, prop, instrument, stage, floor, latency, or camera position change feasible movement or timing?
- Does the arrangement preserve partner response, improvisation, visible process, spatial relation, or performer control when one of these carries the intended meaning?
- Can intended participants enter, understand conditions, take part, refuse, and leave safely?
- Does recording or streaming preserve the relation needed by its later use, or only a visually or audibly convenient fragment?
When the answer exposes a conflict, compare alternatives in the language of the affected Music or Dance Work. Keep safety, permission, artistic authority, participant rights, and technical feasibility distinct. One does not automatically override the others merely because its specialist reports first.
