Abstract
In merging relational ethics and improvisation as acts of co-creation the discussion in the following chapter explores the contribution these activities can make in terms of enriching the possibilities of our thinking. By attending to ethics and aesthetic experience in practice we can facilitate the generation of material responses that are deliberately provisional, explored in terms of each practitioners’ immersion in a continuously, in-between state of being. Nurturing the facility to prosper in such states of uncertainty can lead to the emergence of unforeseen yet enriched forms of knowledge. To do this improvisers draw on the fluid interchange between their bodily thinking and potential relations forged when being-with others. Appreciation of the varying trajectories that can emerge during such co-determined practice is significant in terms of self-learning and the generation of ‘in-common’ knowledge. The crux of the argument is, that in the generation of this knowledge we come to realize more of our own potential, striving as we do to combine our sensual, intellectual, emotional, responsive selves. Ultimately the concern is to frame relations in terms of identifying an ethico-aesthetic practice of improvising.
