Welcome to our creative lab: Ars Dramática
Hello there!
My name is Constanza and I'm a designer of playful and interactive experiences, a creative director of theater and audiovisual iniciatives whilst also being a devoted teacher and project consultant.
I created ARS DRAMÁTICA in 2015 to work professionally implementing a theoretical/practical approach to some of my biggest passions; telling stories, creating interactive experiences and playing games.
Thank you all for being here and checking out my work!
I'll be very happy to share my discoveries, exchange ideas and collaborate with you in your owns projects.
MISION
AUDIOVISUAL & SCENIC CREATIVE LAB
In ARS DRAMÁTICA I design theater productions and interactive audiovisual projects with the support of other artists and institutions.
I also research reception theory studies, gamification applied to arts and motivational design for creating experiences.
I'm currently in the process of developing a thesis about Dramaturgical (de) programming©️.
Alongside all of this I give classes in which I share all of this information with my students, I offer professional consultancy in playwrighting, scriptwriting and interactive experiences and last but not least, I collaborate in other artist's projects.
