Brazil GSO-training

/in , , , /by

In the last week of June, hundreds of teachers, students, administrators and artists in Brazil attended workshops, presentations or meet-and-greet-sessions with the GSO coordinator. The three municipalities Santa Maria Madalena, Sao Francisco de Itabapoana and Sao Joao de Barra have invested large in education for their students by training their teachers in the GSO methodology and sustainable theatre-production. The week culminated with the very first Brazil Science Opera.

Here are just a few photos from the ten days.

GSO at NASA

We had a very exciting presentation of the GSO for the “StoryLab” to employees at NASA. I am sure you can imagine how thrilled we were to get this opportunity! The recording is here. We’re hoping to engage in dialogue with NASA in order to get inspiration for our 2023 production. 

Poster-contest for Creavolution

We wish to host a contest for the poster, open for all participating students to make suggestions for what the poster should look like. 

The winning suggestion will then be worked further with by a professional visual/graphic artist.  Suggestions for the poster will be included in the Eco-art Gallery, and some of them will be shown in the opera.

We finally took the step, and now the GSO has its own Instagram-account. If you want to share photos from your work with your contributions, please tag us: @scienceoperaglobal (note the relocation of the words in the name). For this years production you can also use the hashtags: #globalscienceopera #gsothrive #ecosystemrestoration and #generationrestoration which is the UN´s own suggestion.

Congratulations, Dr. Ben-Horin!

/in /by

It is with great pleasure we congratulate Oded Ben-Horin with his dissertation “Improvising the Bridge” today, and his new official title: Doctor! Oded is one of the “founding fathers” of the GSO, and led the production of the first operas.  He is still the visionary coordinator of the GSO and much of his doctoral work is connected to it. The rest of the team continues to learn so much from him.

Mid-May he will be the speaker at the GSO online session about music.
