​This September, Heather and Gowri had the great pleasure of presenting a workshop, You, Me, Us: Making Connections Through a Collaborative Practice, at the 6th ITAC Conference in Oslo, Norway. (ITAC stands for the International Teaching Artist Collaborative).
We had a lively and enthusiastic group of teaching artists from around the world who learned about working collaboratively and participated in a hands-on, interactive activity that integrated movement and visual arts.
It was a wonderful to collaborate with new friends and share our collaborative experiences.
