 An important goal of improvisation is to enable the individual to develop
spontaneity which is necessary in creating the illusion of reality.

through various games rather than lectures.
 Forms of Improvisation
Shortform – short scenes constructed from predetermined game.
Longform – scenes related by story or character.
