Conflict is most often what makes a scene interesting. It is rare that there is a lack of conflict in improv comedy scenes. It is more often the case that there is a proliferation of argumentative interpersonal conflict. It is important to explore other conflicts, such as internal conflicts, or conflicts with nature. If conflict is not happening at all, it is often because the characters are immediately solving their problems on stage. The structures listed below may assist in developing conflict in scenes.
