Test the support relation and the performed Work

Using MDPE.22, the team selects one small change to the surroundings: a protected twenty-minute social-practice block with a host, admitted participants, a usable floor, event-volume sound, and permission for the live coder. The organizer performs the scheduling and event-change Work; the musician and sound operator use their direct Methods to configure the musical and sound conditions. The trial now has its event block, floor, permission, and host. Having these conditions does not yet show that participants perform the intended Dance practice.

MDPE.5 integrates the direct Dance, live-coding Music, sound, and event results for one representative pair’s two-minute Dance Work inside the larger trial. MDPE.12 then compares observations from all eight pairs. In the first round, three pairs preserve partner-responsive timing through the live-coded changes. Five pairs revert to a memorized phrase after a dense accent change, and four pairs on the far side report that the pulse becomes hard to locate. The observation supports a local integration failure under these conditions. Applause and a short video do not answer the partner-use question.
