Grand opening of a new business district, built by cyber security giant Tesonet.
The goal was to create an indoors/outdoors event with an opening ceremony, representing the next step in company's development - union of all the departments in one location - in fun and entertaining manner.
I created the concept, coached actors and dancers in scripted audience engagements, conducted rehearsals and creatively directed tech and style teams.
GTA Theme Party, TESONET
Client: Tesonet
Agency: STORM studio
Creative Director: Šarūnas Kirdeikis
Theme: Grand Theft Auto video game
The goal was to create an immersive party environment with interactive engagements and a story line, based on a worldwide famous video game for over 1500 visitors. Including visually recognizable spaces, voice narrated story and series of live action events, stunts and choreographed performances, spatially placed throughout the evening.
I created the concept, structured the system of events and coached crew members in particular movement, nuanced speech and computer-like scripted engagements. I also conducted rehearsals and creatively directed tech and style teams.
SANATORIUM IMMORTALITAS, YAGA'22
An Immersive Explorative Game for electronic music & art festival YAGA.
The goal was to create a haven with an interactive environment for 3000 visitors to recharge and restore their emotional, physical and spiritual well being.
Together with a team of over 50 performers, healers and shamans I've established an explorative system with a unanimous storyline. It revolved around three healing departments - Corpus Salinarum, Corpus Sulphur, Corpus Mercurii - that have send their best healers into hidden places of the forest of YAGA. In order to receive their knowledge & healing, visitors had to embark on a journey to find them.
MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT DREAM
An interactive play for 500 guests, transforming a networking event into an immersive theater experience.
I adapted a storyline of MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT DREAM to be played in 7 different locations, situated in a late 19th century residential manor. The story was played through performances of over 50 actors, dancers and musicians. The guests were invited to an environment without a defined stage, where series of scripted events happened simultaneously within the audience itself.
I also curated a team of set and light designers, stylists, makeup artists, choreographers and visual artists.
SECRET SOCIETIES, YAGA'21
YAGA festival of Electronic music and modern rituals has been attracting broad audiences for 16 years in a row.
In 2021 I was invited to create and direct a new layer of experiences - an immersive game within the festival, based on a theme SECRET SOCIETIES.
I was responsible for creating a system that engaged festival attendees to join the game from the moment they purchased a ticket, to arrival, to when they left festival's territory. I have built and directed a 3-day scenario, filled with quests and custom tailored experiences for over 3000 attendees.
I was also managing a team of 50 creatives, actors and coordinators, coaching them in audience engagement and storytelling.
