Free Play: Improvisation in Life and Art

"Without play, learning and evolution are impossible. Play is the taproot from which original art springs;...Technique itself springs from play, because we can acquire technique only by the practice of practice, by persistently experimenting and playing with our tools and testing their limits and resistances.

To play is to free ourselves from arbitrary restrictions and expand our field of action. Our play fosters richness of response and adaptive flexibility. This is the evolutionary value of play -- play makes us flexible. By reinterpreting reality and begetting novelty, we keep from becoming rigid."
(Stephen Nachmanovitch 1990: 42-43)
