Abstract
This paper investigates how a group of young adults participating in theatre rehearsals construct a spontaneous improvised scene. The analysis shows how the youths construct a fairly coherent scene in a situation in which the interactional moves and the interactional frame emerges. We analyse how the improvisation is initiated, how it is carried forward, and how the scene is discussed afterwards. After the improvised scene, it emerged that the participants had differing conceptions of what exactly they had been doing. However, these differing conceptions did not hinder them from participating and contributing to the scene in coherent ways and were thus sufficiently similar for practical purposes. In our analysis, we focus on how the youths constructed the scene by recycling lexemes, syntactic forms and embodied actions.
