[15] Welcome
my artistic vision
- Toshi's vision (Toshi explain), Kris' implementation, OUR group
- mochitsuki as the perfect "art container"
- Kagamikai, but original
- standard practice schedule
-- 15 warmup: copycat
-- 10 focus of the day, explanation/demo
-- 45 details practice
-- 15 sectional runthrough
-- 10 individual practice
-- clean, final announcements, close

Practice arc
- work through the various parts of the performance
- try a real mochitsuki, eat and discuss
- repeat, each time going deeper into the details

Risks of this approach
- too "shallow", nothing done long enough to sink in
-- limit scope: for example, on first pass, we'll only do kine section
-- individual's take responsibility for their roles
- some skills (sugagaki) require dedicated, long practice
-- focus practice time on the other ones
-- empower individuals to tackle the long-practice skills
