MASTER CLASS
Craft the Experience of a Lifetime
A radical weeklong deep-dive into empathy, artistry, and transformation for those ready to create work that truly moves people.
We gather a small cohort of cross-disciplinary artists, designers, performers, and researchers to design a singular, immersive Odyssey for an audience of one—a durational performance interwoven with the life of a single participant.
The Master Class is a collaborative act of radical
generosity. You’ll join a global community of creative pioneers and dive headfirst into the most intimate and demanding creative process imaginable.

What is an Odyssey?
An Odyssey is the heart of what we do at Odyssey Works: a multi-day, deeply personal, immersive experience crafted for one person. It is poetic. It is logistical. It is transformative.
Odysseys are made for just one recipient
—but require the collective brilliance of a cohort of artists, designers, and thinkers working as one. The process involves months of research and design, all culminating in an experience that unfolds in real life, blending seamlessly into the participant’s world. Many past participants have changed careers, ended or begun relationships, or uprooted their lives in response.
The Master Class is how these experiences come into being.


What You’ll Do
In one immersive week, you’ll learn Odyssey Works’ method of designing with empathy and precision—tools honed over two decades of pioneering experience design.
You’ll:
- Learn diagramming, world-building, and empathetic research techniques
- Collaborate across disciplines to design meaningful moments
- Explore the boundaries of performance, ritual, and reality
- Create an Odyssey for a real person—and witness its impact firsthand
You’ll leave with new language, new collaborators, and a new lens on your creative life.
