prep
- 1eau Drill on board

welcome
- personal updates
- thoughts on BBBQ
- thoughts on Patience Duet

course overview
- procedure
-- learn an original Patience Duet rhythm
-- decipher the "development"
-- practice the building blocks used in that development
-- improvise new developments
- why
-- specific hits are not critical and can be distracting
-- "imagining" subtly informs the development
-- eventually, reacting to and being inspired by each other

1-4 (quarters -> eighths): over O.G.
- copycat
-- 1
--- emphasize L
--- reveal slow vs fast strikes
-- 2
--- emphasize last L
--- "individualize" strikes in last R L
-- 3
-- 4
-- then combine

generalizing quarters

- two options: hitting, not hitting
-- 1eau Drill (each line once?)
-- in reverse?

- being patient
-- what to do when waiting?
--- feel the beat and take confidence in the value of the silence
--- taking turns: don 2 3 4 1 2 3 don

- imagination
-- taking turns: don 2 3 4 [imagined]

- hearing a development in quarter notes
-- feeling the tension build to the "1"
-- all/1: sparse to full (don 2 3 4 don 2 don don)
-- all/1: full to sparse (don don don 4 don 2 3 don)
-- all/1: upbeat to downbeat (1 don 2 don don 2 don don)
-- all/1: downbeat to upbeat (don 2 don 4 1 don 3 don)

improvisation
- sparse -> full, next person full -> sparse
- repeat for each development option

whole section
- quarters -> eighths -> a few sixteenths

choreo break: lines 17-18
- with music

whole section with resets of tracks, so each pair is starting fresh

next time
future:

choreo break: slow spins
- with music

generalizing eighths
- pairs of hits
- just L (upbeats)
- slight crescendo
- leading to 1

generalizing sixteenths
- pairs up upbeats (su dogo)
- leading to 1
