This paper describes a system that dynamically generate narratives through improvisation. MEXICA-impro is based on a cognitive account of the creative process called engagement-reflection. Its architecture defines a framework where two agents participate in a simulated improvisation session to generate the plot of a story in which each one draws knowledge from two different databases representing cultural backgrounds. A worked example is explained in detail to show how this approach produces novel stories that could not be generated before.
