This project developed a performance built through rehearsal-based creation. The story follows two acting partners who repeatedly collide over disagreements that echo—intentionally and structurally—earlier arguments. Through this cycle of conflict, the piece evolves as an exploration of how performance, memory, and personal stakes shape each other.
A core part of my role was facilitating actors’ improvisation as a dramaturgical engine: guiding improvisational work, supporting performers in self-expression, and shaping improvised material into a coherent dramatic structure. I planned and led acting practices that helped expand the initial premise into a complete play, while ensuring the evolving scenes remained connected to the work’s central dramatic logic.
In addition, I adapted and integrated subplots based on the actors’ personal experiences, translating their insights into stage action in a way that strengthened both authenticity and theatrical clarity.
