A Model for Collective Free Improvisation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a model for Collective Free Improvisation (CFI), a form of improvisation that can be defined as referent-free. While very simple, it captures some interesting mechanisms of CFI. We use two variables: the intention and the objective. Both variables are used to describe the production and organization of the improvisers’ signals. Using a system of Landau equations, we propose a non-linear dynamics for the intention evolving on a short time-scale while the objective evolves on a long time-scale. In this paper, the model is used to determine if, and within which conditions, a collective structure can emerge from CFI.

The approach to information security governance has predominantly followed a functionalist paradigm with emphasis placed on formalized rule structures and policy frameworks. The alternative socio-organisational (reflexive) approach has in the recent past grown in prominence due to the emergent socio-organizational aspect of technologies and processes.

متن کاملCoordinated Interpersonal Behaviour in Collective Dance Improvisation: The Aesthetics of Kinaesthetic Togetherness
Collective dance improvisation (e.g., traditional and social dancing, contact improvisation) is a participatory, relational and embodied art form which eschews standard concepts in aesthetics. We present our ongoing research into the mechanisms underlying the lived experience of "togetherness" associated with such practices. Togetherness in collective dance improvisation is kinaesthetic (based ...
