Give and take - the collective conversation of jazz performance; musical improvisation - a systems approach; what the drums had to say - and what we wrote about them; what's sound got to do with it? Jazz, poststructuralism and the construction of cultural meaning; the creative decision-making processes in group situation comedy writing; creativity in Ubakala, Dallas Youth and exotic dance; improvisational theatre - an ethnotheory of conversational practice; school performance - improvisational processes in development and education; responsive order - the phenomenology of dramatic and scientific performance; poetics and performance as critical perspectives on language and social life; the improvisational performance of "culture" in realtime discursive practice.
