Open sessions, from 3 pm to 7 pm

Dates: 19 and 26 May

Sala Nelly Laport. Av. Pasteur, 296, Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro, RJ. Postcode 22290-250

On May 19th and 26th, Guto Macedo and Gabriela Jung will lead workshops to play Modus Operandi AND, a game created by Fernanda Eugênio that brings forth situations related to the politics of coexistence in a transdisciplinary way.

The workshops will take place in the Theater-Dance and Multimedia course at the invitation of Beatriz Galhardo and are open to the Unirio academic community.

Let's inhabit the challenge of living together in this game without predefined rules, focusing on investigating positions taken in relation to events, practicing re-paralysis. What are the consequences of our positions?

What happens to me with each position taken, mine and others'?

How to slow down the reactivity of judgment?

If these questions resonate with you or if you want to bring new questions to our discussion, come practice with us!

There are no prerequisites, all interested people can play!

No prior registration is required, just show up!
