Improvisation – Freedom and Rigour in Theatre Pedagogy

Summary/Abstract: Despite its generic meaning, improvisation has profound roots in theatre development. From the birth of performance to 20 th century aesthetic refinement and contemporary artistic experiments, it has become both an intriguing working process and a valuable training tool for future professionals.However light and playful it may seem, improvisation has to be based on rigour and study in order to achieve a true and authentic creative value. Theatrical education aims not only to become a space for developing one’s area of expertise, in accordance with the current rigors of the profession, but also to provide a suitable framework for experimentation and reflection, as the skills that an actor uses in an improvisation are the same skills we need to live authentically.
