THE CONTRADICTION

"To write a book about improvisation is partly a contradiction in terms. Improvisation is spontaneous. It's in the moment."

Sally Schneider



This quote from Sally Schneider says it all really, i literally only just found this quote, which is amazing really, it is a great statement that backs up and rubbishes some of my points, but that is why it makes it all the more interesting. This whole point of showing improvisation through the medium of a book is void. showing improvisation within the contents of a book cannot really be done, fully, correctly and spontaneously. My thesis however is about the factors of improvisation, what makes improvisation great tool within our lives, and the steps that are taken to get to the stage of being able to improvise. It is not a piece of written work telling someone how to improvise, you can lead someone to the water, but they have to drink it...
