If you're doing Impro, I can recommend reading the book by Spolin - Improvisation for the theater. The first (theoretical) part was the most interesting as it showed to me something I hadn't figured out myself, doing impro as a beginner. In an impro game or play, you get a role and have a goal to fulfill. Your task is to fulfill that goal, and not to bother with the goals other people have. It's not to make things more "interesting" by making life for the others more difficult. As a beginner I thought that creating conflicts would result in more interesting plays, but it doesn't. It makes things messy, but not good messy. The different goals create enough conflict. And you can actually help eachother and make the play better by working together towards the goal of ending the game. Understanding that was an eye opener.
