Can you give an example of 'roundabout an improvisational fiction'?
Let's say there's an improv storyteller. They begin with the idea of a lonely traveler. But instead of directly talking about the traveler's journey, they start by describing the different landscapes the traveler might have passed through in a very abstract way. They talk about the colors of the sky and the shapes of the clouds as if they are memories in the traveler's mind. This is roundabout as it's not directly about the traveler's experiences but gradually builds up to form an improvisational fiction about the lonely traveler.
In an improvisational writing exercise, the writer starts with the concept of a mysterious package. Instead of immediately delving into what's in the package or who it's for, the writer begins by writing about the street where the package was delivered. They describe the old buildings, the people walking by, and the sounds of the street. It's a roundabout way of starting an improvisational fiction about the mysterious package as it sets the scene in an indirect manner before getting to the core of the story.
