There is an idea in music that we have statements or phrases which resolve or remain suspended. Similarly, so does speech. People speak in questions which seek responses: tension and resolution. I interviewed author Jennifer Haigh for the academic journal ImprovNotes about improvisation. I love how it is the same thing, her process and the target of improvising musicians. To embrace the character doesn’t necessarily mean you have their views. I used to imitate the body language of certain pianists just to see what happens. Something did.
