A cocktail will follow the discussion.
This Saturday (January 19) from 2 pm – 4 pm, the Nest will be presenting “Rewind. Fast Forward” at the NEST – a forum theater event moderated by Dr. Njoki Ngumi. This month, they’re using the forum to explore dispute resolution in relationships between men and women at home, in the workplace and in romantic and platonic contexts.
Are men always oppressors? Are women always nagging? Are men always domineering? Are women always comparing? Is equality/equity possible? Explore honest possibilities around dispute resolution and constructive argument techniques by becoming part of the action yourself and telling the actors what to do (maybe even acting it out yourself)!
