The Accordion Bellows Metaphor
摘要
This chapter introduces the Distributed Free Improvisation Model. This approach draws on the concept of Distributed Creativity as developed by Glăveanu (2014) and incorporates several of its central principles and axioms. The chapter emphasizes that for a comprehensive understanding of the creative process in free improvisation, it is essential to recognize that this process emerges from the interactions between people, objects, and environments over time. The Interactive Dimensions of the Creative Flow (IDCF), a framework comprising six dimensions, is presented to elucidate this process further. The IDCF contributes to research by demonstrating that the creative process of free improvisation can be understood from a distributed perspective. The model is illustrated through figures designed to visualize aspects of the psychological and creative processes involved. These figures are presented in the following sequence: (1) The Vertical Spiral, (2) The Longitudinal Cut of the Spiral, and (3) The Accordion Bellows Metaphor. The development process of each figure is explained throughout the chapter. Finally, the chapter concludes by introducing a metaphor aimed at visually representing the Distributed Free Improvisation Model.
