“ The practice of improvisation (in contrast, say, to that of writing or painting) teaches something that we are hungry to understand: how to be in harmony with one another and how to have fun. We practice improvisation not only to “express ourselves” but to connect with others in a more immediate way. ”

“ Whether personal or organizational, building capacity to effectively deal with change creates resilience, and without exceptional resilience there is no antifragility. ”
