Improvisation Improvisation in theater is the playing of dramatic scenes without written dialogue & with minimal or no predetermined dramatic activity. Most or all of what is performed is created at the moment it is performed. In its purest form, the dialogue, action, story, and characters are created collaboratively by the players as the improvisation unfolds in present time, without use of an already prepared, written script.

An important goal of improvisation is to enable the individual to develop spontaneity which is necessary in creating the illusion of reality. The improvisation teacher must expose students to the theatrical environment through various games rather than lectures. Forms of Improvisation 1. Shortform – short scenes constructed from predetermined game. 2. Longform – scenes related by story or character

Creative Drama • It is an improvisational, non-exhibitional, process centered form of drama in which participants are guided by a leader to imagine, enact, and reflect upon human experiences. • This process allows students to actively explore a subject or question through imaginative play that is facilitated by a leader and may involve a variety of improvisational activities. • These activities are not scripted or memorized, and they allow students to synthesize various educational concepts into a personally meaningful form.
