Résumé
The temporality of human behaviours and experiences implicates multiple timescales, reflecting interactions between manifold processes that cut across intra- and intersubjective levels of organization. The way individuals feel time and shape it through their bodily actions is therefore something that individuals ‘make together’. Collective improvisation—being the very art of temporality negotiation—is thus a paradigmatic practice of participatory time-making. Using modified improvisational scores (sets of constraints that participants abide by during an improvisation practice), this chapter investigates how the enactment of time relies on and emerges from the interactions between participants. To study the effects of one’s interactions with others on the temporality of one’s behaviours and experiences, analysis of kinematic coordination and subjective experiential reports are combined. This approach is illustrated with two protocols that highlight the collective formation (and disruption) of temporal ‘shapes’ at multiple timescales through bodily interactions.
