I’m Melanie Esther Dorey, an artistic director, immersive events producer and a traveler. I’m passionate about designing experiences where creativity and connection come to life. I’ve spent the past decade designing immersive events, performances, and retreats, blending storytelling, scenography, and sensory exploration to create meaningful experiences.

My journey started with my immersive theater company Madame Lupin, where I designed interactive, site-specific performances that invited audiences into living, breathing stories. I’ve worked on international projects between Paris, New York, San Francisco and Berlin with prestigious collaborators and clients.

For me, travel isn’t just movement—it’s a way of seeing, sensing, and engaging with the world. Every place, every culture, every encounter inspires the way I design experiences. With The Immersive Sandbox, I bring together my love for storytelling, experience design, and cultural exploration, creating a space where you can experiment, connect, and create in the quiet energy of the Moroccan desert.
