long-form improvisation

Long-form improvisation is a type of improvised comedy or performance where performers create a cohesive, often story-like piece over an extended period, usually 30 minutes or more. Unlike short skits, long-form improvisation involves interconnected scenes and characters that develop organically, often inspired by suggestions from the audience. Performers rely on active listening, creativity, and collaboration to build a narrative without a script, allowing the story to unfold naturally in real-time. It emphasizes spontaneity, character development, and emotional truth, creating an engaging, unpredictable experience for both performers and viewers.
