How it Works

This is a Long Form format. It starts with one rather long scene, which is followed by other, probably shorter, scenes that somehow connect to the first scene. Possible connections are:

• Characters return
• Characters of situations mentioned in the first scene appear in the subsequent scenes
• Subsequent scenes take place in the same environment as the first scene

The reason why the first scene should be fairly long is that it should provide enough information for other scenes to build on. The name 'Deconstruction' can be interpreted as "Take a first scene, and then deconstruct it by using characters, locations, situations, played or referred to, and play/re-use those in further scenes".

Origin

Deconstruction originated at ImprovOlympic in Chicago.
