How and why does improvisational theater (improv) serve the learning and development of adults in higher education? What new approaches to higher education are possible with and because of improv activities? This edited collection considers these questions while illustrating the power of improv activities with and in higher education to co-create revolutionary opportunities for holistic human development, learning, community building, social change, and research. Moreover, this collection emphasizes the presence and significance of life-span imaginative play in the form of improv both as a topic of scholarship and as a means of teaching, learning, research, and administration in higher education. It provides illustrations of the imaginative, playful activities of the authors and offers reflections of, theoretical groundings for, and current sociopolitical contexts of these activities.
