Theatrical Improvisation generates innovative ideas for conceptualizing improvised scenework and “finding the 
game of the scene,” and ultimately creating and performing long form improvisation structures.
Long form is a style of improvisation that bases its entertainment on very few and possibly a single ask for from the audience. It relies more heavily acting skills and ensemble memory, that can sustain improvised scenes for extended periods of time.
