Ready, aaaaand ... Take 2!

After the informal friends society tour last week the Alte Saline Hallein finally got its turn this monday to welcome a larger celebratory group as the second term of classes was started off at what staff there lovingly calls Tikki Bar. The weather was nasty, the salt was damp, but nothing could disparage the evening for our newly arrived students and teachers, some of them returnees, others completely new to the projects, some even sticking around for another class after already participating in the first term.

Things were lively, yet still a bit reserved. Over the next few weeks we'll get the pleasure to see everybody thaw, unleash their creativity, discover new ways of expression, make new friends, also ... and in the end, we'll all return to the Saline for the grand final party. Until then, let's look forward to a couple of fabulous weeks ahead filled with Lunchtalks, explorations of Salzburg, vernissages and discussions, and of course lots of great art. [mp]
