Theatre improvisation, or improv, is a theatrical activity where actors perform spontaneously without a script. They create scenes, dialogue, and characters in the moment, often guided by audience suggestions or predetermined prompts. Improv emphasizes quick thinking, creativity, and collaboration, encouraging performers to adapt and respond authentically. It enhances acting skills, fosters spontaneity, and often results in lively, unpredictable performances. While there’s no script, successful improv relies on trust, active listening, and teamwork to craft compelling and entertaining scenes on the spot.
