In this article, we share reflections from the practices developed in my Ph.D. research (in progress), with 50+ adults, whose theme is improvisation in dance. The research is characterized by an artistic-pedagogical investigation, with a qualitative and exploratory approach. This cut that I present aims to present reflections on the impacts of studies on perception, attention and listening in the knowledge construction experienced in studies on improvisation in dance. In this sense, we present a general contextualization about improvisation in dance, then we discuss the three guides - perception, attention and listening - and their impacts on improvisation, then we bring arguments about improvisation as an educational experience. Finally, we make considerations about the power of the study of improvisation as a means to learn to experience the immediate present in a creative way, aware that the improviser (of any age) is the composer of experiences, of the decisions that impact the construction of the artistic and life scene.
