Abstract This editorial outlines the outcome of an interdisciplinary session on collective sense-making through dance improvisation, which took place during the ‘Neural and Social Bases of Creative Movement’ workshop. We argue that joint improvisation practices place the scientist in a privileged position to reveal the nature of cognitive and creative behaviors.
