GenderARC study break: play some games that highlight feminist issues!
We have several leaders, so we will be starting new games every 30-60 minutes between 4 and 7; feel free to drop in anytime and another game will start soon.
Knowledge has a way of sinking into our bodies; we may not even be aware of the way we interpret gender expression and gender roles.
#Feminism Nano-Games are a series of 30min to 60min games designed to help us explore and discuss the way we internalise and act on our embodied knowledge – and to think about the impact of our actions.
Some of the #Feminism games give everyone a role and then we play through a scene together. Some ask us to move together according to specific gendered rules, some ask us to build a woman by committee, some to guess what emotions people are trying to portray in a selfie. It’s amazing what people learn about themselves!
Play / Test is a project of Sarah Hoover, a PhD from Drama, Theatre & Performance, and is supported by the Irish Research Council. For more info: https://playtestgalway.wordpress.com,
#Feminism is written by feminists from 11 different countries. The October 2016 Play / Test event won the People’s Choice award at Gaelcon
