The original Italian term improvisation means to work, to play without preparation; it is a mechanism whose essence is uncertainty or unpredictability. In the second semester of drama and theatre directing, the whole group of first-year students of stage acting, theatre directing, dramaturgy and performing arts is in a deep whirlwind of constantly new situations, stories, pre-stories, circumstances, as well as emotional states, conflicts, happiness, love, anger, the frustrations we capture from the world around us, in which we live and with which we are in a constant relationship, just as we are in various interpersonal relationships. We can imagine the personal stories of people from the past, but we can only experience their present and future in situ, i.e. immanently and in direct contact, in the complexity of coexistence. One of the basic venues of such coexistence is the theatre, namely, the stage. We try to enjoy this vortex, surrender to it, observe it, observe it, raise awareness, give it wings, influence it, shape it, accept it and also oppose it.
