Abstract
The "flow" state is often desired during creative and athletic activities, serving as an intrinsic motivator for enhanced immersion and performance. While improvisation is known to promote flow, the impact of varying degrees of improvisational creativity on flow intensity remains unclear. Today’s talk will present the results of a study that aims to address this gap by examining flow in professional flamenco dancers and musicians. Flamenco artists are traditionally trained to improvise together, making it an ideal art form to study these concepts in both domains.
