Summary/Abstract: This article presents a series of benefits that the study of acting through the technique of improvisation brings not only to the theatre students, but to all those interested in rediscovering themselves, testing new ways of personal development, accessing a depth of latent resources, taking the step towards the magical world of creativity. The author focuses on some characteristics of the improvisation method inspired by the use in her own practice of Viola Spolin’s seminal text ”Improvisation for the Theater” that gives both the professionals and non-professionals the joy of expressing themselves in an authentic way. Experimenting with theatrical techniques is all the more important at a time when digitalization and online communication tend to further isolate the individual. Through the theatrical art, one can work to restore his connection with the immediate and concrete reality of our life, with ”the other”.
