The purpose of this paper is to examine the possibilities of applying Improv/Impro to various fields through a review of the methods and ideas of Keith Johnston and Viola Spolin. The ideas of Johnston, who tries to recover our "spontaneity" and "imagination" from the "fear" caused by the "social mind". On the other hand, Spolin, who tries to expand them by training the possibilities of the Physical body in "Theater Games," can be used in complementary ways. This can lead to the skills to create "spontaneity" and "imagination" and to share the space in a way that is different from the way communication is centered on thoughts and words.
