In the 1960s, Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) activists engaged with people of color working in poor communities to experiment with creative approaches to liberation through theater, media, storytelling, and craftmaking. With a dearth of resources and an abundance of urgency, SNCC activists improvised new methods of engaging with communities that created possibilities for unexpected encounters through programs such as The Free Southern Theater, El Teatro Campesino, and the Poor People's Corporation. Reading the output of these programs, Elizabeth Rodriguez Fielder argues that intimacy-making became an extension of participatory democracy. In doing so, Fielder supplants the success-failure binary for understanding social movements, focusing instead on how care work aligns with creative production. The Revolution Will Be Improvised returns to improvisation's roots in economic and social necessity and locates it as a core tenet of the aesthetics of obligation, where a commitment to others drives the production and result of creative work thus, this book puts forward a methodology to explore further the improvised, often ephemeral, works of art activism. 606 $aActivism$xSocial aspects 606 $aCivil rights workers$xSocial aspects 606 $aProtest movements$xSocial aspects 606 $aSocial change$xPolitical aspects 606 $aPolitics and culture$xSocial aspects 606 $aMinorities$xCivil rights$xSocial aspects 606 $aIntimacy (Psychology)$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aActivism$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aCivil rights workers$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aProtest movements$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aSocial change$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aPolitics and culture$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aMinorities$xCivil rights$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aIntimacy (Psychology)$xPolitical aspects. 676 $a303.48/4 686 $aPER011000$aSOC000000$aSOC001000$2bisacsh 700 $aFielder$b Elizabeth Rodriguez$01768130 801 0$bEYM 801 1$bEYM 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910889699803321 996 $aThe revolution will be improvised$94287816 997 $aUNINA
