Remember last week when it was winter?
Today, 1 MAR, is officially the first day of meteorological spring and we’re thinking ahead to the warmer months. So here are our 13 thoughts as Winter thaws.
1. We’re thinking about the weather
2. We’re thinking about how CoLabsolutely CoLabulous CoLab was!
3. We’re thinking of some recommendations
Sound Recommendations is a new Instagram account created and curated by TL students. They asked people what the best piece of advice they’d ever been given was and are releasing the responses as a series of micro-interviews.
The idea was born in the CoLab project Think of Something. Follow their profile and – who knows? – perhaps you’ll receive some life-changing advice from a familiar face!
4. We’re thinking about how to integrate with Tate
We’ve been all over Tate Modern this February with a series of workshops and performances, including a contact improvisation jam with the public.
Also at Tate Modern during CoLab was the Protest Choir project, involving the public in flashmobs and protest songs.
5. We’re thinking about trying a bite-sized slice of fresh dance, thrice
