Improvisação, improvisação, improvisação, superação

"The objectives of improvisation in dance are manifold: to explore new ways of moving, to create movement material, or to explore variations of existing parts of a dance work. We must distinguish between objectives related to the production and performance of a new dance work, and to other, less product-oriented goals. The latter includes identifying idiosyncratic patterns and habits, breaking them and moving in different, surprising ways.

The process of communicating an improvisational task to the dancer is crucial for “translation” by him/her, meaning that this instruction or information 
needs to be integrated in the particular system, or form of dance. In other words, creative strategies for improvisation can work in different dance techniques, styles and systems, if they are carefully adapted and transmitted clearly. Over the years I have developed a system of fiveve categories of 
resources for improvisation:

1. Physical form/sensorial system. Exploration of our individual physical characteristics and possibilities fall into this category.

2. Perception. All kind of external information that we receive through our sense organs serves as stimuli for this system is based on the Buddhist concept of the “five components”, which represent the constituent elements 
of the individual being. For example music, visuals, or a specific site 
often can provide the desired kind of stimuli.

3. Conception. The third category focuses on exploring the creation and use of mental images and concepts based on what has been perceived.

4. Volition. That what motivates action; the will to act on the conception is thecentral aspect of experimentation in this category. In other words, which 
mental images and concepts can trigger movement responses, and which 
don’t?

5. Consciousness. In this category the improviser works on being conscious of 
the improvisational process itself and makes informed choices and decisions."

Estes aspetos mencionados Jürgens foram trabalhados e desenvolvidos ao longo desta disciplina e, pouco a pouco, foi caindo o muro e a carga pesada da palavra improvisação. Na verdade trata-se de enfrentar as dificuldades, estar disponível para ir mais além e recorrer a técnicas muitas vezes bastante simples que nos orientam neste mundo que é a i-m-p-r-o-v-i-s-a-ç-ã-o
