'''Improvisation''' is the [[practice]] of acting, [[singing]], talking and reacting, of making and creating, in the [[moment]] and in [[response]] to the [[stimulus]] of one's immediate [[environment]] and inner [[feelings]]. This can result in the [[invention]] of new [[thought]] [[patterns]], new practices, new [[structures]] or [[symbols]], and/or new ways to [[act]]. This [[invention]] [[cycle]] occurs most effectively when the practitioner has a thorough [[intuitive]] and [[technical]] understanding of the [[necessary]] [[skills]] and concerns within the improvised [[domain]]. Improvisation can be thought of as an "on the spot" or "off the cuff" [[spontaneous]] activity.

The [[skills]] of improvisation can apply to many [[different]] [[abilities]] or forms of [[communication]] and [[expression]] across all artistic, scientific, physical, cognitive, academic, and non-academic disciplines. For example, improvisation can make a significant contribution in [[music]], [[dance]], cooking, presenting a [[speech]], sales, personal or romantic [[relationships]], sports, flower arranging, martial arts, psychotherapy, and much more. [[Techniques]] of improvisation are widely [[trained]] in the [[entertainment]] arts; for example, music, theatre and dance.To "extemporize" or "ad lib" is basically the same as improvising. Colloquial terms such as "let's play it by ear," "take it as it comes," and "make it up as we go along" are all used to describe "improvisation."
