improv (short for improvisational comedy)

Improv, short for improvisational comedy, is a form of live performance where actors create scenes, characters, and dialogue spontaneously, without a script. They often respond to suggestions from the audience or prompts, relying on quick thinking, creativity, and teamwork. The focus is on unpredictability, humor, and authenticity, making each performance unique. Improv emphasizes being in the moment, listening carefully, and building on what others say, fostering a sense of collaboration and spontaneity. It’s commonly used in comedy shows, training, and entertainment to showcase agility, wit, and the ability to adapt swiftly.
