Shortform Improv

Shortform improv is a form of improvisational theater where actors perform quick, spontaneous scenes typically lasting only a few minutes. Unlike long-form improv, which may develop complex stories over extended periods, shortform focuses on brief, often humorous or engaging sketches built around simple prompts or ideas. It emphasizes immediate creativity, rapid scene transitions, and audience interaction. Common in improv games and workshops, shortform develops quick thinking, teamwork, and adaptability among performers, providing an accessible and dynamic way to entertain and explore storytelling without requiring extensive planning.
