Improvisation

Improvisation is the act of making something up as it is performed. This term is usually used in the context of music, theater or dance.

Comedy

Improvisation is also performed as an art form itself in theatres around the world, sometimes with dramatic intent but more often in comedic form (the most famous is Chicago's The Second City). Extemporizing on the methods of pioneers such as Viola Spolin, Paul Sills, Del Close and Keith Johnstone, actors improvise often wildly funny scenes with amazing character work and believable behavior.
