The entire European industry agrees that for economic growth and cultural diversity within the audiovisual industry creative development remains crucial. In other words, the ‹golden› triangle - scriptwriter, director or transmedia designer and producer - is at the heart of any successful project development. The ambition of STRUCTURAL CONSTELLATIONS is to foster interdisciplinary co-operation within the development teams and to strengthen its actors' creative skills in order to improve the quality of the scripts while fostering a market perspective to reach a larger audience.

What you get from STRUCTURAL CONSTELLATIONS:

  • The reframing of your project with regard to the story/the scenes/the characters
  • The enhancement of your creative potential and your story development skills
  • The consolidation of your positioning in/monitoring of the creative process
  • Enhanced interaction within the development team of your project
  • Acquisition of techniques and tools to apply autonomously to other projects and to solve problems/conflicts with any team.

STRUCTURAL CONSTELLATIONS offer a shared and unique creative experience. Upon completion of the two Modules, the participants will have acquired precise, comprehensive and practical know-how and skills on behalf of their current and future projects. This intensive European Master Class proposes an interactive and pragmatic approach among peers, drawn up by Matthias Varga von Kibéd and co-animated by Marc Wehrlin.

A short film presenting the method, the detailed schedules and the dates for both Modules and the registration form are available under constellations-story.net
