The emphasis of all of long form improvisation is the scenework. You are supposed to get on stage and perform a scene with nothing planned at all, yet make it look as if it was a scripted piece of theatre. Sounds impossible? It is...unless you have some guidelines. In episode 4 of ImprovLA, Keith talks about what you need to know before starting an improv scene.
