RePlay is an exploratory method being developed by the author as a tool to observe creativity in action and how improvisation similar to brainstorming is a useful embodied technique in collaborative and an often inter-disciplinary design process. This paper reflects on a pilot study conducted with a group of improvisation actors to experiment with the method and its development. The contribution of the paper is to explore the value of RePlay as an embodied approach for observing as well as enhancing creativity both as method for observation and developing it as a creative tool. The method involves the use of body storming in the early stages of co-creation on behalf of participants as well as reflection on the activity afterwards. This exploratory method builds upon Dix et al. [7, 21] BadIdeas as well as improvisation techniques and the use of props in collaborative brainstorming. What follows, is an overview of design methods as well as a summary of some of the work that has been done in the area of Human- Computer Interaction and other disciplines regarding the use of improvisation. This paper also includes a summary of the results of a pilot study utilizing RePlay as well and proposed future work and directions for research.
