Any action can be practiced as an art, as a craft, or as drudgery. How does one learn improvisation? … The only answer is to ask another question: What is stopping us? Spontaneous creation comes from our deepest being and is immaculately and originally ourselves. What we have to express is already with us, /is/ us, so the work of creativity is not a matter of making the material come, but of unblocking the obstacles to its natural flow.
