Examples from texts

But the night crawled on, the fire died away to a soft thread of smoke and the faint, faint smell of the covered meat in the improvised drying-pit, and she did not come.
Но ночь тянулась, пламя гасло, костер превращался в дымное пепелище, и уже попахивало слегка ароматным мясом от их импровизированной коптильни, а Райэнна все не приходила.

After this the Colombus troupe gave a short variety show with singing and dancing on an improvised stage, the point of which was to demonstrate how Vavila the peasant boy won fifty thousand roubles and what came of it.
Затем на импровизированной сцене колумбовцами был разыгран легкий водевиль с пением и танцами, содержание которого сводилось к тому, как Вавила выиграл пятьдесят тысяч рублей и что из этого вышло.

“Some of the lads having a laugh,” Rebus improvised. He kept flexing his left wrist, trying not to show how much it was flaring with pain.
— Мальчикам нечем было заняться, вот и решили они посмеяться, — выдал Ребус стихотворный экспромт, продолжая терзать левое запястье и стараясь не показывать, сколько боли причиняют ему эти манипуляции.

The white glow contracted into a frame, I stepped through it, and I was immediately grabbed by the shoulder and jerked sharply down to the left, onto the floor behind the cover of an improvised barricade consisting of several overturned tables.
Белое свечение сжалось в рамку, я шагнул в нее – и тут же меня схватили за плечо, резко дернули влево и вниз, уложили под прикрытием импровизированной баррикады – несколько опрокинутых столов.

Although people draw on their own life experiences to role-play the situation, it is mostly improvised.
Несмотря на то, что участники, играя, исходят из собственного жизненного опыта, игра в значительной степени представляет собой импровизацию.

Grisha continued for some time in this state of religious ecstasy as he improvised prayers and repeated again and yet again, "Lord, have mercy upon me!"
Долго еще находился Гриша в этом положении религиозного восторга и импровизировал молитвы.

He made the most trifling progress with his Euclid for that forenoon, and was more often at the window than at his improvised writing-table.
В то утро он сделал весьма слабые успехи в геометрии и чаще оказывался у окна, чем сидел за своим импровизированным письменным столом.
