Work with handling collections: there was an excellent handling collection at the British Museum, and at most of the other museums with which I have worked to date (which include replicas and real items). These can sometimes be taken away from museums in Loan Boxes, often for a relatively small hire charge, so they can be used as inspiration for dance workshops in schools where those schools are not able to work on-site at their local museum for whatever reason.

Photographer Jo Forrest very kindly came along to take some shots during our rehearsals for our last Dancing in Museums performances of the summer at Creswell Crags. Some of these images captured the peculiar antics of characters Mildred, Henry and Harriet (Jessamin Landamore Coyne, Robert Guy and Lucy Starkey) as they moved around the beautiful site at Creswell Crags.

After 2 very exciting days preparing for our performances of The Imagination Museum at Creswell Crags on Sunday 27th July, I have also had a meeting with Dr David Strange-Walker from Trent & Peak Archaelogy today to talk about the Nottingham Caves, and the potential for future performances as part of the 'Dancing in Caves' project.

The Dancing in Museums project has been going from strength to strength since my last blog update in March, with performances at Boston Guildhall, the Rhoda McGaw Theatre in Woking and Northampton Museum and Art Gallery, and a lot more happening behind the scenes. Here are a few links to images and videos from these performances.

The biggest challenge for the making of The Imagination Museum was that I could not cover every possible kind of museum artefact in one piece, so had to make some decisions about which artefacts to explore in more depth for our initial repertoire of museum objects.
