  • Contemporary Improvisational Theater in Poland and the United States
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS LODZIENSIS FOLIA LITTERARIA POLONICA 2(40) 2017 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/1505-9057.40.05 Magdalena Szuster* “Alchemy and smoke in a bottle” – contemporary improvisational theater in Poland and the United States Part 1: (Re)defining Improvised Theater – the American and Polish Perspectives What Does Impro(v) Mean Anyway? The origins of improvisation are indistinct, and for most part untraceable. An academic endeavor to establish its beginnings would go unrewarded, as there is no one distinct inventor1 of improvisation. This technique, or method, had been used as means of expression in art long before Spolin or Johnstone, and far away from Chicago or London. The Atellan farce (1 BC), secular entertainers and court jesters in China (10 BC), or the frenzied improvisations in Ancient Greece (600 BC) had preceded the 16th century commedia dell’arte2 the Italian improvised per- formance based on scenarios and/or sketches. The renaissance of improvisation in the 20th century was largely brought about by experimental artists who used it as means of expression, communication and representation. As a tool, a vessel or foundation improvisation existed in theater (both formal and popular), painting, poetry and music. It was an important substance, and an interesting addition to avant-garde art. The early avant-garde theater welcomed improvisation as a means in the pro- cess of developing plays and productions, or as a component of actor training, yet an independent improvisational format was yet to be devised.
