This article argues that the performance of a dance entails varying degrees of openness and spontaneity and that, on these terms, any dance can be considered improvised. The first part substantiates this claim, whereupon the second part deals with the contingent question as to how dancers then handle openness and spontaneity differently in improvisation practices. To answer this question, the article turns to enactive and phenomenological clarifications of agency—our capacity to perform acts—and by analyzing the improvisation of Danish performer Kitt Johnson, indicates how this clarification can help us understand the different ways agency is exercised when improvising.

调查舞蹈即兴创作：从自发性到能动性

本文认为，舞蹈的表演需要不同程度的开放性和自发性，根据这些术语，任何舞蹈都可以被视为即兴表演。第一部分证实了这一主张，然后第二部分处理了一个偶然的问题，即舞者如何在即兴表演中以不同的方式处理开放性和自发性。为了回答这个问题，本文转向对代理的行为和现象学的澄清——我们执行行为的能力——并通过分析丹麦表演者基特约翰逊的即兴表演，表明这种澄清如何帮助我们理解即兴表演时代理的不同方式。
