“Você não vai tocar o que você praticou… Algo mais vai acontecer”
Abstract
My research focuses mainly on the analysis of improvisation form an action theory perspective, since improvising is an action and interaction process. My contribuition highlights the process of musical improvisation; in order to achieve a more compreensive level I ilustrate my arguments with exemples from standart jazz (an idiomatic genre) and free jazz (a non idiomatic genre). Finally, I propose a model for understanding improvisational action and interaction that is composed of four fundamental dimensions. Together, these explain improvisation and creativity in improvisation processes: 1) the (musical) material, 2) the interaction between the musicians, 3) the attitude of the actors, and 4) the (emergent) music.
