Kiersten Jungbluth Pienknagura, de Literatura, fue la primera estudiante en sustentar su proyecto de titulación en el presente periodo de defensas que lleva adelante la Secretaría Académica de la Universidad de las Artes. La hoy egresada se presentó ante el comité de tesis el pasado 10 de febrero y, acorde a lo programado, las sustentaciones que lleva a los alumnos de nuestras cinco escuelas de pregrado hacia la recta final de sus carreras se registrarán hasta el 6 de marzo próximo.
La invitación la hizo la Escuela de Literatura y se trató de un laboratorio abierto para presentar El Hipopótamo, espacio de formación del itinerario de Edición y Creación. Allí, el pasado 3 de febrero, se realizó una muestra de los trabajos de los estudiantes de las cátedras: Introducción a la actividad editorial, Edición 1 y 2, Taller de gestión editorial, Taller avanzado de narrativa, Latinoamericana 3 y Taller de producción editorial.
Es una técnica de entrenamiento actoral, propia de las Artes Escénicas, pero las estudiantes Paola Salazar y Cecibel Cortez concibieron un taller en que “La silla vacía” de Konstantín Stanislavski pasara al territorio de la escritura. Se dio en el marco de “País para cuentistas” y aunque la cita se dio en enero, no resulta extemporáneo compartir las experiencias y más si la propuesta vino de compañeras de carrera.
