Improv (improvisational theater) is a form of live performance where actors create scenes, dialogue, and stories spontaneously without a script, often based on audience suggestions. It's practiced at comedy theaters like Chicago's Second City or through improv troupes and classes, and draws people who enjoy quick thinking, collaborative storytelling, and comedic risk-taking. Many people also take improv classes to build confidence, public speaking skills, and adaptability that transfer to professional settings.
