This bricolage untext constructs a meditation on third space professionals, practices, and opportunities. We, the authors, have reflected on our own past contributions on the topic – and contributions from some friends and allies – in blogs and articles, in books and activities – and playfully selected those that at this moment we like the best, that we find the most provocative, intriguing, or useful. To carry third space practice further, rather than writing a summative reflective piece drawing together our thinking in a suitably formal and dense academic piece, we have cut up what we have written – we have blacked out the blogs and PowerPoint sessions of others – and we have put these together to create a new story: that explores the creation of 'third spaces' and immersive activities as pedagogical practices for powerful student learning. A story, as Jean Luc Goddard would say – with a beginning, middle, and end – but not necessarily in that order. Thus, our text is an untext and an unspace – a metonym, a synecdoche, a provocation.
