Improvisation and composition in organizations: the creative process of Bizia Cesarano

This paper is aimed at analyzing the characteristics of composition and improvisation, focusing on the boundaries between these two and on how improvisation and composition can be both used within a creative process. The paper will analyze the creative process implemented by Fabrizia Cesarano, (who signs her works as Bizia Cesarano) which is based on a series of extemporaneous creations (improvisation), which give life to paintings, sculptures or artistic installations that crystallize these processes over time in composition form. Drawing from a case study about the exhibition "Trame sotto processo" (plots under trial), held in Naples in the months of December 2023 and January 2024, this paper analyzes how improvisation and composition, traditionally seen as opposite practices, are intertwined and both part of a single creative process.
