The busy first week of Dancing in Museums research workshops in Lincolnshire primary schools ended today at St Andrew's School in Leasingham. The children from Mr Harrison's class had been to The Collection Museum very recently and were therefore able to share with me the stories of their favourite Roman objects, and to bring them to life through movement.

Here are some more images from our first research week for the Dancing in Museums project with primary school children from Lincolnshire. They were taken at North Scarle School, and show some of the children looking at artefacts from The Collection Museum Fossils Loan Box, Fletcher's picture of the 'rock with lots of eyes' and our sea urchin with millions of legs. Once again, thank you to all the children and North Scarle School for having us. More updates to follow.

Here are just a few photos from our first 2 days of 'Dancing in Museums' research workshops with children from Monks Abbey and Ling Moor Schools in Lincolnshire. These show some of our group discussion and writing activities as well as our dancing in small groups and as a whole class.

In the second short compilation of research clips, we begin by exploring movement initiating from the pelvis, and we give someone else responsibility for this initiation which (the dancers told me) enabled them to feel freer in their movement; this movement fluctuates endlessly as in the previous video, but also covers a great deal more space and has more unexpected, playful shifts.

This short video includes extracts of our Dance on Film research, working through several stages.
