We need to strengthen our foundational skills for environments often found in scripted programming. Enter, Context Specific Improvisation (or CSI): a unique approach to improvisation for intermediate to advanced actors/improvisers, centralized around on-camera scenarios, grounded acting and giving bold simple gifts to slowly build the scene to a final blow.
