Description
This foundational text examines improvisation in the arts from 1945 onwards, offering both analytical depth and practical relevance for artists and audiences alike. The authors present a rigorous exploration of how improvisation has shaped contemporary creative practice, emphasizing process and technique across multiple artistic disciplines. By dissecting improvisation's role in breaking artistic definitions and generating innovative forms, the book argues for its central importance in modern arts practice. Spanning dance, music, theatre and visual arts, this work bridges theory and application, making it essential reading for practitioners seeking to understand improvisation's transformative potential and for scholars analysing post-war artistic development. First published in 1997, it remains a key reference for anyone exploring the intersection of spontaneity, creativity and formal experimentation in twentieth-century performance.

Key Features

Examines how improvisation breaks artistic definitions and generates new creative forms in contemporary practice.
