poetschke on improvisation pt. 7
from karl poetschke:
prt. 7- imagination
So often you hear the word imagination in reference to artistic creativity but what exactly is imagination and how do we use it in an effective, pro-creative way? Imagination is all the images from the nation within us. By this I mean, that we are the sum total of everyone it took for us to be here now and we have access to all the knowledge and experiences that they experienced. This vast reservoir is accessible through our imagination. Everything born from our imagination either has happened, is happening or will happen. This is somewhat of a proven fact in quantum physics.
With this view of imagination, we can effectively utilize it in a pro-creative way by first learning to become aware of what is going on inside you, then become aware of what is happening around you and then combining them with the images of the imagination...simultaneously and instantaneously.
Note: these steps are cumulative not incremental and assume that you have read parts 1-6:
1- practice observing your thoughts as objectively as possible and become aware of your own patterns.
2- use these patterns for creative inspiration
3- while in this state of awareness, open your eyes and ears to your environment and observe it’s patterns
4- use these patterns for creative inspiration
5- by this step we have silenced the ego and allowed our unconscious mind to be combined with the outside world.
6- by benching the ego the imagination is transformed from ego-driven fantasies and illusions into a vast reservoir of infinite life experiences that can be accessed for creative inspiration.. Thus adding the third element...our complete “Self”.
7- at this step we can apply imagination in an effective way by combining (closing the distance between) our inside reality and our outside reality with our experience of all reality through out infinite time and space i.e. “Imagination”
8- as we utilize the imagination in this pro-creative way, we create a pattern in our improvisation of continuously unfolding inspiration
9-being continuously inspired enhances our creative output and increases our ability to experience musical freedom
10- the end product: total awareness of reality and complete musical freedom in a infinite, pro-creative circle of pure artistic creativity.
Not a bad place to be when performing.
Your insights are invited.
