Radim Hanousek BRNO
I consider free improvisation to be a complex art. In the speech of improvisers, all knowledge, skills, experience and human character come together. Quality improvisation requires a mature and creative artist who can suppress his ego, help create a collective work and who respects the aesthetics of the improvisational community. Improvising with such artists fills me with immense happiness.
