MDPE.8:2.2 - Name the subject expected to change

Choose the narrowest subject that still changes the decision. Common subject kinds include:

  • musical or movement material;
  • one performance occurrence or its production and presentation arrangement;
  • a performing Agent’s capability;
  • a performer–instrument, partnered, ensemble, robotic, or hybrid performing whole;
  • a Music-or-Dance Method or Method family;
  • a teaching, recognition, selection, transmission, or continuation relation;
  • an event, school, venue, archive, platform, or other supporting System; or
  • the architecture by which a practice or style is produced and reproduced.

These are examples, not a closed classification. If two subjects can change independently, keep two questions or state their relation; do not hide both under the dance or the music.

State whether the subject and relation exist now, are proposed for possible future realization, are known only through a qualified source, or remain unavailable. A persuasive brief, score, choreography, model, course, or platform page does not by itself bring the proposed practice into existence.
