Application Deadline: 15 January 2024

Master Class Fellows will join a cohort of international cross-disciplinary artists in May 2024 for a dynamic and energetic week of learning, playing and designing.

Nestled in the magical Haute-Sa ne region of France, Fellows will join Odyssey Works Director Ayden LeRoux and Associate Director Sophie Larsmon for one week to learn our secrets from two decades of designing experiences for one-person audiences.

Together, we will collaborate to make a once-in-a-lifetime Odyssey for one chosen individual.

We will hit the ground running. We will present concepts of empathetic design, teach methods for making diagrams, and practice creating spaces of intimacy and curiosity. Each fellow will be selected for their particular expertise, and we will work across disciplines to create a transformative experience that is site specific. Days will be spent researching our chosen participant, collaborating in the development of particular moments for them, and learning the Odyssey Works approach to experience design. Each fellow will return home seeing their personal, professional, and creative lives through a new lens.

Be prepared to spend the week deeply immersed in creative research, design, and production. We will be in a remarkable place, and the project we complete together will be demanding. We will live, eat, and work together full-time for the week.
