From The
Free Dictionary: Improvisation - a performance given extempore
without planning or preparation.
Simply put, it is a performance based on what happens in the
moment. Normally this means that inspiration is taken from
the participating audience. Often located in theaters, stages
at bars or other clubs, or even in storefronts, improv comedy
performs in an intimite setting involving the audience in
what is going on stage.
The actors weave ideas stemming from the audience suggestions
into funny situations that have the audience riding along
with them.
Often involving "theater games", improv finds laughter
in situations that when revisited don't elicit the same response.
