improvisational theatre
Making it up
Improvisational theatre is live performance created spontaneously without a script, often based on audience suggestions.
Performers develop scenes, characters, and dialogue in the moment, relying on quick thinking and collaborative skills.
The form ranges from short-form games like you'd see on Whose Line Is It Anyway? to long-form narrative pieces.
