Love it or Hate it! Controversies in Museum Theatre
IMTAL Seminar - hosted by Historic Royal Palaces
Tuesday 13th July 2010, 10.00 - 16.00
Kensington Palace, London
Is museum theatre the marmite¹ of interpretation? For some visitors,
encountering performance can be controversial, even shocking, at least
unexpected. Do the interpretative merits of an approach outweigh the fact
that some visitors won¹t like it? Can they be won over? How can a site
decide whether to play safe or innovate?
We bring together a diverse range of top museum theatre practitioners who
have created work at sites including Kensington Palace, Hampton Court and
The Tower of London
* WildWorks (www.wildworks.biz)
* Goat& Monkey (www.goatandmonkey.co.uk)
* Spectrum Drama (www.spectrumdrama.com)
* Past Pleasures (www.pastpleasures.co.uk)
Each will present case studies, share their experiences of visitor reactions
both positive and negative, and argue the pros and cons of different
approaches.
The seminar includes a visit to the innovative Enchanted Palace¹ experience
which combines fashion, performance, and dazzling spectacle, inspired by the
stories of the palace¹s former royal residents, to reveal Kensington's
magnificent State Apartments in a magical new light.
