Abstract

In presenting their comprehensive definition of improvisation, the authors consider developments in improvisation in the arts since 1945 by particularly emphasizing process and technique and by featuring artists in all media, from Grotowski and Laurie Anderson to Goldsworthy. Their approach is analytical and theoretical, but it is also relevant to practitioners and their audience. For Smith and Dean, improvisation has been of great importance and value in the contemporary arts because of its potential to develop new forms, often by breaking existing definitions: they see hypermedia and interactive technologies as playing a key role in dissolving the audience/creator separation which exists especially in Western society, though often less in other cultures.

Abstract

Janet Coleman brilliantly recreates the time, the place, the personalities, and the neurotic magic whereby the Compass made theater history in America. The Compass began in a storefront theater near the University of Chicago campus in the summer of 1955 and lasted only a few years before its players—including David Shepherd, Paul Sills, Elaine May, Mike Nichols, Barbara Harris, and Shelley Berman—moved on. Out of this group was born a new form: improvisational theater and a radically new kind of comedian. "They did not plan to be funny or to change the course of comedy," writes Coleman. "But that is what happened."

Abstract

Comment se réalise une improvisation ? À quelles conditions peut-on dire d'une improvisation qu'elle est réussie ? Doit-on définir une spécificité de l'improvisation pour chaque pratique de l'art, comme pour le théâtre, le cinéma, la musique et la performance ? Comment distinguer les pratiques artistiques, comme un morceau de jazz, et les pratiques quotidiennes, comme une conversation ? Autant de questions qui traversent ce livre. Ce recueil de textes découle d'un projet de recherche collectif sur l'improvisation, entre artistes et différents chercheurs en esthétique et en sciences sociales. De 2013 à 2015, quatre écoles d'art se sont réunies : la Manufacture pour le théâtre, la Haute école de musique de Lausanne pour la musique, l'École cantonale d'art de Lausanne pour le cinéma, et la Haute école d'art et de design de Genève pour la performance.

Abstract

This study originates in the observation that improv comedy or improvised theater has such a vast majority of white people practicing it, while other improvisational or comedic art forms (jazz, freestyle rap, stand up) are historically grounded in and marked as Black cultural production. What it is about improv that makes it such a white space? Can an absence be an object of study? If so, what is there to study? Where should one look?.
