[import ID 0667] chiaida research w YY (what should others do? support beat? how should Zenshin enter?); new arm swing choreography, halfway between first attempt (individual as interesting) and second attempt (group as interesting); improv to trap, discovered Smash Roll, Cam, Rrrack!, one other.

[import ID 0651] Troyboi improv, Radiddlepa teTake section. Late-evening naname improv (mostly rhythm... too tired for big choreo), and Radiddlepa teTake to end; first runthrough of piece w/ metronome in a while; unsure what to do about tempo -- hold to constant 112 and save the slower sections from being boring with solid groove and dynamics, or allow the tempo to fluxuate by section; will try the first for a few days.
