Applied Dramaturgy

for Life's Turning Points

You already know how to read a room. You've always known. The temperature before anyone speaks. When what's being said and what's happening are two different things. Dramaturgy is what you do with that. Sixteen weeks to turn instinct into craft — and apply it to the stories that are actually running your life.

The Signature Experience

The NotebookLM Ceremony

In ancient Greek theater, the chorus witnessed what the protagonist couldn't yet name about themselves.
We rebuilt the chorus with AI.

Step 01
You submit your material
Your story. Your scene. Your turning point. Written, rough, unfinished. Real.
Step 02
The chorus discusses it
Two AI voices analyze your arc, name the patterns, take your work seriously.
Step 03
You sit and listen
You hear your story in third person. You witness yourself being witnessed.
Step 04
Facilitation + arc map
What do we hear? How does it feel? A visual map of your passage, yours forever.
