Open World Theatre is on TOUR: UK / EU / USA++
I am taking Open World Theatre on the road – creating ‘Human Interaction Labs’ to experiment with ways back to honesty.
The experience of Open World is a refreshing remembering of what it feels like to truly be ourselves. Open World Theatre is not about acting or putting on a show, but instead about removing all of the blocks so that the innate artistry of human expression can be witnessed.
Stage
The core body of work of Open World Theatre focuses on workshopping authentic human interaction. We use the stage as an arena to dismantle the social scripts and remove the masks of our assumed identities.
These labs are held in-doors and are a guided experience over several hours, training in communication and embodiment tools to open up raw, unguarded and honest connection between people.
“STOP ACTING. START LIVING!”
Studio
Atlas is extending an open invitation to creative collaborators who wish to step into the studio with him to create artful markings from the collisions of their innocence and wilderness.
These are experiments in perception and perspective which result in artworks in the artist’s chosen medium. These form a breadcrumb trail on the exploration of the RISK, REALITY & ROMANCE of honest humanity.
Street
In taking the Open World method to the streets we get to witness humanity ‘in the wild’. Interacting with people beyond the context of a workshop ensures we stress-test the theory beyond controlled environments.
We normalise the primal, the artististic and the soulful elements of being human. We unapologetically follow our hearts and engage in ‘Public Displays of Humanity’, to welcome others to unlearn the aspects of social conformity which violate their personal integrity.
- Attend a workshop or immersion – check the bookings page for details.
- Invite Atlas to collaborate creatively when he’s in your town. Reach out via the contact page.
- Help land any of these 3 labs in your local area by connecting Atlas to your community, (bonus appreciation points if you can assist in finding him accommodation as part of the exchange).
LET’S PLAY! FOR REAL.

Testimonials
“What I’m looking for, in whatever I do in life, is to feel like this!”
J.K.
“I felt held, seen, vulnerable, challenged and bid to rise. One foot in the doorway of profundity and one on the lap of the ridiculous, he is a worthy wayfarer who will bring you home.”
M.L.
“The amount of knowledge base that he possesses and embodies in martial arts, theatre, spirituality, and the body makes me feel like I am working with an expert whom I can trust, which is a relief in a day and age where anyone can run a workshop and call themselves experts.”
H.W.
“Through Atlas’ Open World sessions I have experienced moments of true catharsis, moments of ecstatic bliss, moments of relief, moments of true surrender… and had profound realisations about the world and the way I am showing up in it. I genuinely think that this could change the world… and I think it will.”
