For Jaak Sikk improvisation is anti-elitist – each person’s firsthand reaction through improvisation characterizes that individuals’ unique and one-of-a-kind reality. And in Jaak’s opinion one must respect this.
Analysis and rational thinking is connected to the prefrontal cortex in the brain, which is the slowest and most recently developed part of the brain. If the impulse to react applies sooner than the analysis in the prefrontal cortex, interesting things are about to happen.
From Jaak’s viewpoint context is the score of scores.
