Salzburg, SEAD, Lectures etc.

Hallo!
We've had a busy busy past few days.
Wednesday:
Sean and I took the train (very nice train) to Salzburg... got lost for an hour 1/2... had some of the best thai food we've ever had from some tiny shack in the mountains and then arrived at the very interesting SEAD: Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance.

Here we got the lowdown or scoop on Austrian dance, which is apparently in the post-contemporary phase. I'd try to explain it but it's quite complicated. you sort of have to see it really.
That said, SEAD was a wonderful complex and we did have the opportunity to watch a couple interesting rehearsals. The students are also quite talented.
We have a few photos, but our camera won't turn on... .
Moving along.
Yesterday, Sean and I presented our first international lecture at the esteemed Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien (University of Applied Art).

They treated us incredibly well with coffee, waters, juices, good conversation and questions. Our lecture was just under 90 min, haha.. we were shooting for about 60. Our new collaborator, Caitlyn, also came along.. here's her website: http://www.lace-theater.com/
After the lecture and subsequent conversations, they took us on a tour of the other buildings in the University, which meant walking all over town! We also got to seem some of the students' thesis which was nice.
Well, that's probably about it. for now.
