Abstract

This article presents a qualitative analysis of the opening section of an online improvisation session. The session, which was organized by the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra, included an international group of musicians. It took place during the global COVID-19 pandemic where the participants were experiencing lockdown conditions. Phenomenological reflexive analysis and video elicitation techniques were utilized to develop a number of key themes related to the multimodal improvisation strategies identified as emergent in the session. The results highlight how technical, physical, and psychological constraints of online practice can facilitate new creative insights and approaches to improvisation. Particular emphasis is placed upon how an improvisation begins and the role of distributed and collaborative creativity within the overall process. The importance of the domestic environment, what we term The Theater of Home, is central to these new ideas, as is how particular scenarios/items function as psychological and creative boundary objects. The spontaneous multimodal integration of text, visual, and audio material within the domestic and virtual environment can be seen to support a new type of creative collaboration and one that draws out features of social improvisation.

开辟新天地：放大家庭剧场中的即兴表演

本文对一次在线即兴演奏会的开场部分进行了定性分析。这次会议由格拉斯哥即兴管弦乐团（Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra）组织，参与者包括一群国际音乐家。它发生在全球 COVID-19 大流行期间，参与者当时正处于封锁状态。我们利用现象学反思分析和视频诱导技术，提出了一些与会议中出现的多模式即兴创作策略有关的关键主题。研究结果强调了在线实践的技术、物理和心理限制如何促进新的创造性见解和即兴创作方法。其中特别强调了即兴创作的开始方式，以及分布式和协作式创作在整个过程中的作用。家庭环境的重要性，即我们所说的 "家庭剧院"，是这些新想法的核心，也是特定场景/项目如何作为心理和创意边界对象发挥作用的核心。在家庭和虚拟环境中自发地将文字、视觉和音频资料进行多模态整合，可以说是支持了一种新型的创意合作，同时也汲取了社会即兴创作的特点。
