Day 1 of the workshop focuses on creating journeys and user experiences with dramaturgical means.This is the theoretical part where we look into the meaning of journeys and journey creation, and into details used to design a journey with a user/audience in mind.

Touching on topics like user experience design, postdramatic theatre, journey design, the unknown, and many others, we look at how dramaturgy gets implemented in various forms of theatre, and mostly, outside of its borders, from audioguides and street games to designing services, public spaces and beyond.

Day 2 is a practical day where everyone is encouraged to leave their desks in the first half of the day (the actual task will remain a surprise.)

Day 3 is a feedback day for the previous day’s task, also providing a summary of everything covered in

the workshop.

Attending the workshop gives 3 ECTS.
