Resumen:
The article focuses on the structure of improvisational theatre and the process of improvisation itself. Improvisation as a category covers activities involving inventiveness within limitations while improvisational theatre is a method wherein performers intentionally choose not to plan their performance aspects. Spontaneity is the primary feature of improvisational theatre like the thirteen-scene play "Harold," performed by improvisation performers called improviser, improvisateur or improvist.
