This essay reminded me of many lessons learned through Service Space. Perhaps the most salient message relates to how we become able to improvise. The most impressive improvisation can only be achieved if performers have acquired a level of competence and understanding that frees them to choose combinations of notes and rhythms; often fantastic sequences that can be perceived as a spiritual experience...beyond the expected. Something that transcends the repetitive patterns that have brought the performers to this point. They don't have to think about what notes "work " logically. The magic comes from a deeper source, often performed in an interdependent struction that welcomes that magic. Once we get past the notes and more rigid requirements, improvisation emerges. Looks, sounds and feels like love to me.
