I have several ideas that I will try to developed true IPTL workshop. I can shortly described one of the ideas. Working name of the idea is: Find a character make a play(game). So audience will have some time to ask the actors( characters) who they are , what they do etc . After that when they will established the characters they will have opportunity to made a play using previous prepared instruction manual with basic steps and structures of a 3 act play(game) where they(audience) will also have a chance to intervene how they will use the steps and how they will work with the characters together.
