LESSON 1 - IMPROVISATION and SCRIPTED WORK

IMPROV (IMPROVISATION)

Improvisation, often shortened to improv, is the activity of making or doing something not planned beforehand, using whatever can be found. The origin of the word itself is in the Latin "improvisus", which literally means un-foreseen.
