Creating Worlds — Improvisation for Building Dramaturgy

Every playwright, director, and actor possesses a unique ability to craft living, multilayered worlds where captivating characters come to life. These worlds become the foundation of stories that capture the audience’s attention and remain relevant for years to come.

The Creating Worlds training is a space for exploring and practically mastering the art of building fictional worlds. It’s not just about inventing imaginary settings — it’s about constructing a reality the audience can truly believe in. You’ll not only learn how to build worlds but also become the protagonists of your own stories, unlocking new dimensions of your creative freedom.

The skills you acquire will serve you not only in the arts — they will expand your abilities in storytelling, teamwork, and developing your acting craft.

Understand how space, rules, and social structures influence plot development and character motivation.

Master techniques of improvisational dramaturgy to bring scenes to life in real time.

Learn to create expressive images through movement, voice, and partner interaction.

Discover how to apply your created worlds in scripts, plays, and stage productions.

Actors — for a deeper understanding of character psychology through the context of their world.

Playwrights — for tools to create rich, multilayered texts.

Directors — for techniques of visual and spatial thinking to build expressive scenes.

Writers — for methods of structuring plots and building believable environments.

Anyone who wants to boost their imagination and spark their creative energy.

Learning through doing: Minimal theory — maximum experience! You won’t just learn about world-building, you’ll build worlds in real time using your body, voice, and improvisation.

Body and voice integration: You’ll learn to create scenes not just in your head but here and now — following the impulses of your body and subconscious. This helps unlock unexpected solutions and brings energy and authenticity to your scenes.

Live stage work: All ideas are tested immediately in practice. You’ll see them from the outside, feel them from within, and fine-tune them as needed for further development.

A space for experimentation: This training is a safe creative laboratory where you can go beyond the familiar and explore new approaches to storytelling and character creation.

An understanding of how to build worlds that allow for multiple layers of meaning.

Insight into how world details shape character behavior and drive the plot.

Techniques for using symbolism, metaphor, and visual language to enhance stage expression.

Experience in working with multidimensional dramaturgical space to deepen storytelling.

A sense of inspiration and confidence — you’ll leave the training with a clear vision of new creative possibilities and the motivation to act on them.
