Staff Training with CDM Program and Exhibit Specialists

I had the pleasure of leading a staff training for CDM's integrative education staff: Program and Exhibit Specialists.  These are the frontline staff who engage directly with families in exhibit spaces at the museum.  I shared an overview of our SHADOWDREAMSCAPE project and led a couple community-building theatre games and exercises.  To finish the evening, the team broke into small groups and created a 1-2 minute performance with a couple criteria: pieces had to incorporate shadow, include a STYLE that will be featured in our installation (color, perception/misperception, full body shadow, hand shadow or phosflouresence). The groups jumped right in to developing the performance sequences and we shared our work with the other groups.  Take a look- some really great imagery to incorporate into our devising process in November with the performers.
