This thesis is about specific approach to the behavior coordination of multiple embodied virtual agents. Agents may act for themselves or be controlled directly by bodiless coordination agents. This kind of approach is designed for the area of interactive storytelling, where the actor agents are viewed as a string puppets that are controlled by the abstract director. The control mechanism is based upon the BDI architecture and the AgentSpeak(L) language that is extended with template plans and new plan execution mechanism that allows the directing of other actor agents
