Short and Sweet - A journey through short form improv
Thursday, October 23, 2025
10:00 AM 5:00 PM
Short-form improv is fun, fast, and exciting! Short-form teaches you to get to the point faster, know what makes a scene interesting, practice characters, stick to a single thing, and work together towards the same goal. Whether you want to learn and practice short form or pick up some techniques to improve your long-form play, this workshop is for you. Good short-form games require good scene work within a set of confined rules. Good short form does not rely on gimmicks or repeated moves and characters from our backlog. Instead, it requires knowing game mechanics to free your mind to play in the moment (and even knowing when to bend the rules to benefit the scene). In this workshop, we will cover different categories of short-form games, practicing a selection of each type to learn the mechanics of how to play within each framework.Short Version:Explore short-form improv focusing on strong scene work and free play within structured games. Develop clarity, collaboration, and fast thinking skills to improve short- and long-form play.
