tour
- history of naname
- introductions
welcome
- risk of teaching brand-new, hard material
-- can't rely on me to know exactly what you need
-- I might not accurately estimate where we'll be by week 12
-- might get sticking but never return to the fundamentals that make it awesome
-- once-a-week is not enough (homework assignments)
-- injury
- why I'm excited about Handtagonism v3
-- next phase of my naname career
--- phase 1: using "relevance" to create new moves that I like
--- phase 2: figuring out how to create choreographic development
- why I'm excited about you
-- humans are amazing
-- you have practice skills, plus curiosity and interest
- course expectations: homework, communication, email
- let's have fun!
