Incredibly Concise Supercut of Game-based Longform
The most compact - and yet broad - coverage of Game-of-the-Scene improv I've ever encountered. 24 teachers provide invaluable insight that sheds light from all angles on understanding and executing UCB-style longform. As an instructor it is invaluable and I look forward to anything Curtis Retherford puts together in the future.
