They are called Improv Everywhere, not Improve Everywhere. |

You're right, it was a hastily prepared photography studio... Which was improvised by using a subway.
And my main point was that the word improvise is more commonly used in reference to theatre because the actors are utilizing whatever they have on hand to come to a resolution or to get their message across, but impromptu only means to do something at the spur of the moment. Making an impromptu decision to go to the store is completely different from getting stuck in the middle of nowhere and having to improvise a way to get home.I hope that clears it up |

So that wasn't a hastily prepared photography studio?hmmmmm........I'm confused could you clarify your definitions please. I don't feel you covered everything. If you explain it again I might start to understand, oh great one. |

Hmm...Improvise:
1. to compose and perform or deliver without previous preparation; extemporize: to improvise an acceptance speech.
2. to compose, play, recite, or sing (verse, music, etc.) on the spur of the moment.
3. to make, provide, or arrange from whatever materials are readily available: We improvised a dinner from yesterday's leftovers. Impromptu:
1. made or done without previous preparation: an impromptu address to the unexpected crowds.
2. suddenly or hastily prepared, made, etc.: an impromptu dinner.
3. improvised; having the character of an improvisation. The correct word is actually improv, which is short for improvise, as it relates more to plays or artistic works, whereas impromptu is more of a general happening. Improv also makes more sense because they were improvising by using the materials given, the subway and people. The more you know..
(Because knowledge is power) |

"Chad just sit up straight"
Ha. Chad. Some thespians might call it that out of un-knowingness but it is actually Impromptu. The term improv has become popular and is now excepted. . |

Sorry, I found it amusing. Although I think this would be very cool if it were actually real. |

I'm not sure how I get how that is an improv really. They just faked they were taking official photos and they weren't. Err...so what's the point? |

I find Improv Everywhere extremely unfunny. They took pictures of people on the subway? Wow. |
