The list is
Unlearning mechanical ways of making music
Attentive listening
Taking risks from a position of safety (trust)
Exploring the creative dynamic in the place and people present
Relationships not roles

Phil Morton noted this list during Maggie Nicols's visit to work with the Frakture Big Band in 1998.
Maggie Nicols either verbalised this list or they were present in the written notes for the sessions.
Phil Morton has used these bullet points in his own work since 1998.
It is a simple and effective list.
Phil Morton's private view, is that they constitute a `skill set` - as a group - and a tool for live performance work driven by free improvisation.
