Chicago-style improv

Chicago-style improv is a theatrical approach that emphasizes spontaneous, collaborative storytelling with a focus on ensemble work. It encourages performers to listen closely, build on each other's ideas, and stay true to the scene's context. Typically performed in short-form games or longer narratives, it values creativity, adaptability, and quick thinking. Originating in Chicago's comedy scene, this style highlights a supportive environment where humor and storytelling emerge naturally from performers' genuine reactions and interactions, fostering an authentic and engaging audience experience.
