Terrified by Improvisation
2008-05-04 17:12:00 [Improvisational comedy] involves people making very sophisticated decisions on the spur of the moment, without benefit of any kind of script or plot. That's what makes it so compelling -- and to be frank -- terrifying. ... What is terrifying about improv is the fact that it appears utterly random and chaotic. It seems as though you have to get up onstage and make everything up, right there on the spot. But the truth is that improv isn't random or chaotic at all. ... Improv is an art form governed by a set of rules... How good people's decisions are under the fast-moving, high-stress conditions of rapid cognition is a function of training, rules, and rehearsal.- Malcolm Gladwell, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without ThinkingNow, reread the quote above and replace improv with exploratory testing. See a connection? Just as improvisational theater may appear to be random and chaotic (although entertaining) to the ignorant, exploratory testing can appear to be random and chaotic to...

What role does improvisation play in business?
2008-01-07 16:16:00 Milo Shapiro of IMPROVentures works with staff in companies using improvisation as a teaching tool for teamwork and communication, both inside the office and in dealing with clientele. Get It In Writing's Allison Nazarian recently interviewed Milo on the benefits of improv in the workplace (and yes, there is a significant connection between improv and your business!).Q. Milo, why would non-actors, in the business world, want to play with improvisation?Milo: Let’s be clear here that we’re not talking about stand-up comedy. Improvisation is the art and skill of being able to think on your feet and create without a script, like on the TV show, “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” Now I know a lot of people watch that show and think, “Oh, I could never be THAT creative!” But you don’t have to be. You’re improvising all the time. Every time you pick up the phone and have to react to a call you didn’t expect, you’re improvising. Every time a client says, “W...

Essay on Improvisation I
2007-10-12 04:36:00 Instrumental improvisation is one of the most difficult skills for an aspiring musician to master. It represents one of the pinnacle achievments for most musicians. While in certain styles of music you can get away with never needing to improvise, for Jazz musicians it is a necessity. One of the reasons why improvisation is so difficult is because you must become extremely proficient with a number of different skills. You also need to have a great body of musical knowledge and vocabulary. I will try to break down these skills and schools of knowledge here in this essay. My hope is that analyzing the different components of improvisation it will help you to improve the ways in which you approach your instrumental study.Scales, Modes, Arpeggios, and ChordsThis is a major goal. It isn’t really helpful to have a “working knowledge” of scales, modes, arpeggios, and chords. You must know them intimately; like you know your native tongue. You cannot stop to think about what ...

Ecstatic Improvisation and Key Lime Pie
2007-08-18 04:30:00 Last night we experienced a memorable, incendiary performance by the Archie Shepp quartet at Iridium in NYC. In my impressionistic (read: untrained and unrestrained) manner, I put up a quick sketch of the band’s first set over at newcritics. A genius sax player, informed by a history that includes blues, avant garde jazz (a short but memorable phase), and a clear devotion to music that’s unmistakably African and African-American, Archie Shepp belongs in his own original category. Go peek, too, at Jason Chervokas’ fine tribute to the great, beloved jazz drummer, Max Roach, to whom Archie was paying his own tribute last night. Since you’re there (or even if you aren’t—I mean, yet) scroll through Tom Watson’s merry crew live-blogging of the TV show, “Mad Men.” Most jazz clubs set an entrance fee and then, often, a two-drink minimum. Alcohol affects me like poison, inflicting an instant, liquid migraine. So on occasion, I’ve spent te...

Improvisation – Iraq’s Miles Davis – Kind of Blue
2007-04-23 16:55:00 “He has become a great improviser, the Miles Davis of the war.”Edward Wong – NY Times.com In a vacuum, power is something so many and too many with different ideas about how something should be; fight for. Moktada al-sadr is one of those people. Where he is interested in an Iraq without outside involvement, he realizes the best bet for this scenario is to wait on the American efforts in Iraq to come to a somewhat stabilizing fruition. Like our Democrat leadership, although much less interested in an American defeat, a senior Iraqi official said of al-sadr: “Mr. Sadr’s thinking was in constant evolution, groping for a workable strategy for the war.” From the NY Times: “Perhaps nothing is more surprising than the fact that Mr. Sadr’s attitude toward the Americans actually reflects a degree of ambivalence.” “Anti-Americanism is the basis of his unflagging popularity. More than any other Iraqi politician, he is willing to recognize, validate and capitali...
