To write a book about improvisation is partly a contradiction in terms. Improvisation is spontaneous. It's in the moment.
Improvisation, the main thing is it teaches you to be in the moment and present in the moment and be reactive and proactive for what's going on.

Improvisation teaches you to really be listening.

Improvisation means coming to the situation without rigid expectations or preconceptions. The key to improvisation is motion — you keep going forward, fearful or not, living from moment to moment. That’s how life is.
I would make a huge distinction between theater improvisation and film improvisation. There isn't much improvisation in film - there's virtually none. The people that theoretically could be good at this in a theater situation don't necessarily do this in a film in a way that will work, because it's much broader on a stage. But in a movie, it has to be real, and the characters have to look entirely real because it's being done as a faux documentary, so there are even fewer actors that can do that on film.
On 'Sicario,' we storyboarded key sequences but not everything.
I hated improvisation because in my early days as an actor, improvisation meant somebody had just come down from Oxford and they were doing a play above a pub in Kentish Town, and the biggest ego would win.
