You say "the success of the typical improvisation rite depends on specific skills of their performers, like interpretation ability, social openness, motivation towards creativity"
I suppose I think that all humans have these three 'skills' as part of being a linguistically capable mammal. With some they are repressed but, with leadership and scene setting (eg warm up exercises, getting to know each other etc) then play guided by rites will actually enable such innate skill to flower. And the surprise of the Athens workshops was that it seems to be true across cultural differences and within a short time frame.
Thanks for you thoughtful review!
