Join us for a three-day 'Devising Immersive Theater' workshop, where we'll focus on the essential elements of Craft, The Ensemble, and Audience Experience. Through practical exercises and collaborative exploration, we'll delve into the art of creating dynamic worlds/scenarios and fostering strong ensemble dynamics, all while keeping the audience's experience at the forefront. This workshop is a hands-on, grounded approach to immersive storytelling that aims to empower participants in their creative endeavors.
