On stage, the artist begins by narrating the real situation of the test. Then, she invites a performer who assumes the role of chairperson of the examining panel, responsible for announcing the rules of the performative program:

​

1. Panel formation – Three volunteers from the public occupy the chairs arranged in the space, composing the evaluation panel. If there are no interested parties, the performance does not happen. After positioning themselves, they receive the official evaluation criteria of the test.
   Solo presentation – The candidate has up to 10 minutes to present the work.

2. Oral defense – In up to 5 minutes, the candidate must defend the relationship between the solo and the chosen theme.

3. Panel discussion – Each panel member has 5 minutes to ask questions or comments.

4. Candidate's response – Up to 5 minutes to respond to the questions and comments.

5. Grades and results – The panel discusses, assigns grades and, if desired, writes written considerations.

6. The president adds the grades, reveals the average to the public, and informs that the official result will later be “published on the university's website.” The cut-off mark is 70 points.​

​

The contest themes are then read one by one and placed in a box. Someone from the public draws the theme that will guide the defense. The performance follows the pattern of the test, tensioning the limits between game, rite, and reality.

​

The themes presented in the contest:
a. Methodological proposal(s) for dramaturgy(ies) in Dance;
b. The choreographic composition and the criteria for identification, selection, and manipulation of movement patterns;
