- Abstract
Dancing with Complexity: Improvisation as connective capacity in governance processes This article brings forward 'improvisation' as an action perspective on governance in complexity. Building on studies that compare jazz and theater improvisation with Public Administration, we take modern dance as a starting point. Dance improvisation consists of a multitude of non-intentional, individual movements that develop into a collective, harmonious consistency, through the efforts of participating dancers. To be able to do this, dancers need high cognitive awareness and strong powers of observation, in addition to physical technique. In this article we describe several skills dancers are being taught in order to become good improvisors: kinesthesia, embodiment, cuing, and attunement. With examples from practices of city making and urban development, we illustrate how improvisation in Public Administration can be understood as a harmoniously developing collective.
