​The project Theaters as Teaching Environments, led by the doctoral candidate Salti Theodora at the University of Lapland and in collaboration with Visual Arenas Residency for Innovators in Art, focuses on how the physical environment of a theater can become an active part of the teaching process. Using drama pedagogy, visualization and senses, participants travel in multisensory experiences and are encouraged to explore how the theater's space can act as a "third educator."  Read more about the project.
