Discuss this statement. In your answer refer to your knowledge of improvisation, your practical experiences and your observations of the work of others.
Improvisation is the art of being able to think of and create ideas in a split second, with little or no warning as to what you are creating. It requires playwrights, directors and actors to think of (in a minimal amount of time) a creative concept in which they will perform straight away. Improvisation is a tool that can be used to introduce or develop new ideas. This tool can be used anywhere in the real world. However, in drama, the art of improvisation and being a good improviser is a fundamental basis for

Throughout the whole process of writing their play, playwrights will improvise every idea. In some cases however, playwrights will write a play, then use improvisation to work out many elements of their play like the main focus or dramatic tension.

Playwrights can also use improvisation as a starting point for a piece they are working on. By just improvising short scenes, playwrights can come up with some of their best work and will be able to work from there. In the process of play building, improvisation is a vital element. Before writing up a script, you must have gone through the scenes multiple times, improvising new ideas or using improvisation to develop the idea. Even after the script has been written, improvisation can still be used to develop ideas and to keep what’s good and discard what is bad.
