This project studies creativity in improvisation in both standard theatrical techniques where a script's interpretation, including the physical performance, is improvised by an actor, and "improv theatre" where entire scenes are created by actors in real-time through improvisation. This research will increase the state of knowledge about improvisation, creativity, and intelligent agent design, as well as contribute meaningfully to theoretical and academic understanding of creative practice in theatre. In addition to integrating engineering scientific methods with the theory and practice of acting, this research will contribute cognitive and computational models of improvisation, emotion, acting styles, and problem-solving in the context of theatre. These models will pave the way to the development of more sophisticated synthetic characters, virtual humans, and other intelligent autonomous agents that can interact with humans and with each other for purposes of entertainment, education, and training.

该项目研究标准戏剧技术中的即兴创作创造力，其中剧本的解释（包括身体表演）是由演员即兴创作的，而“即兴戏剧”则是演员通过即兴创作实时创作整个场景。这项研究将增加关于即兴创作、创造力和智能代理设计的知识水平，并对戏剧创作实践的理论和学术理解做出有意义的贡献。除了将工程科学方法与表演理论和实践相结合之外，这项研究还将贡献戏剧背景下的即兴创作、情感、表演风格和问题解决的认知和计算模型。这些模型将为开发更复杂的合成角色、虚拟人类和其他智能自主代理铺平道路，这些智能代理可以出于娱乐、教育和培训的目的与人类以及彼此交互。
