It may be that when your favorite song comes on, what you really want to do is start dancing. Adults are typically a bit self-conscious and would only do that at home, preferably without an audience. But for youngsters, it can be a very different story, as you'll see when a little boy joyously busts

Date: 1960s Size: 47 x 63 inches Artist: Unknown About the Poster: According to a fairly obscure movie website, the synopsis for this movie reads: "This French musical comedy is set in guess what European city? A couple playing brother-and-sister nonconformists, go out on the town for a night of cool jazz music and dancing (not with each other, of course!) In the course of the evening, the girl falls in love with an Austrian pianist . To keep her new beau financially solvent, the girl innocently takes a rather shady job at a Parisian bar. The pianist misunderstands, but her brother comes to his sister's rescue and reunites the lovers. The musical numbers are forgettable, but performed with flair by an energetic cast." Oversized and in good shape, this poster has been folded and used. We opted not to restore it entirely, but rather to keep its retro feel and style. Recently linen backed, we think this oversize baby would look great in a home theater or projection room. less

Improvisation is usually either lionized as an ecstatic experience of being in the moment or disparaged as the thoughtless recycling of clichés. Eschewing both of these orthodoxies, The Philosophy of Improvisation ranges across the arts--from music to theater, dance to comedy--and considers the improvised dimension of philosophy itself in order to elaborate an innovative concept of improvisation. Gary Peters turns to many of the major thinkers within continental philosophy--including Heidegger, Nietzsche, Adorno, Kant, Benjamin, and Deleuze--offering readings of their reflections on improvisation and exploring improvisational elements within their thinking. Peters's wry, humorous style offers an antidote to the frequently overheated celebration of freedom and community that characterizes most writing on the subject. Expanding the field of what counts as improvisation, The Philosophy of Improvisation will be welcomed by anyone striving to comprehend the creative process.
Dance improvisation is a movement skill that involves creating and executing movement without any premeditated choreographing, as well as a dance form that takes practice to master just like any other.
