done properly, you should only really introduce structure and scaffolding to the degree that it expands your options. eventually this gives you the contextual knowledge you need to sharpen your instincts, which makes your subsequent free-form improv better than it was before https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/998406389440512000
an awesome thing is that we can all help each other with these things, regardless of what stage we’re at. I can imagine my favorite educators - Victor Wooten, Richard Feynman, etc - looking at a “midwit” and saying, “whoa, that’s cool! have you considered X? What about Y?”
We don’t have to make other people feel bad or inferior for being somewhere in the middle of a journey - that’s a losing game because we are *all* in the middle of multiple journeys. Better to be earnest, encouraging, playful. We can cheerfully challenge each other to be great
