Maíra Gerstner

Since March 2024

I'm a body psychotherapist, artist and researcher with a PhD in Performing Arts from USP and a doctoral internship at Paris 8 University in France. I also have a master's degree in Communication from ECO-UFRJ and a degree in Performing Arts from ECA-USP. I trained in somatic relational psychomotricity at the Anthropos Institute of Psychomotricity. I was a temporary lecturer in the Performing Arts courses at UFRJ's School of Fine Arts (2015/2016) and at Unesp's Institute of Arts (2019). I have dedicated myself to the interface of art, body and clinic for over twelve years, offering courses, workshops, individual and group sessions. I came to Condô in search of a centering space for the completion of my thesis and was presented with absolutely unexpected encounters, which are only possible in the collective. Because I believe we need to nurture this kind of experience these days, I'm here.
