Improvisation: an empirical study on improvisational action
Abstract (en)
For Sociology, that deals with social structure and interaction, improvisation would be a highly interesting research topic. Only few social scientists though conduct research in this field. The analysis of actions often uses the classical theories of action, e.g., the theory of action by Thomas Luckmann mentioned herein. This paper tries to approach the topic of improvisation with an emphasis on the improvisational theatre, where social sciences
has conducted almost no research at all. The “how”, the modus operandi, and possible rules applying to improvisational actions will be studied. A theatre scene will be used as a subject for the Grounded Theory method to differentiate possible categories of action.
Keywords:Improvisation, composition, improvisational theatre, action theory, Grounded Theory.
