If you need somebody to stand at the bar refusing to dance, and mocking everybody else who does...I’d like to volunteer please ;) Happy Friday.

An area where the GEM board could make a real difference. We could do a cracking ensemble piece, and I know Nick would be up for a solo spot, if only we could get him to stop twerking. Suggestions for music, anyone? For some reason I’ve got the Bee Gees going round in my head. <proffers brain bleach> Happy Friday everyone... On 02/05/2014 09:48, "Elee Kirk" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Dear all, This may be a slightly too serious request for a Friday, but I thought it was worth making. Those of you who, like me, keenly follow the Tumblr site ‘When You Work At A Museum’ may have spotted the following two videos of museum/arts staff dancing: one made by the Indiana State Museum http://whenyouworkatamuseum.com/post/83812220892/i-was-grumpy-and-then-the-staff-at-the-indiana-state and one by the Idaho Falls Arts Council http://whenyouworkatamuseum.com/post/84425578677/purple-nitrile-gloves-jazz-hands. Watching these videos almost made me cry with happiness. I strongly feel that the UK museum scene needs to respond to these videos with dance-offs of its own - if for no other reasons than to remind us that working in museums can be wonderful, and to cheer ourselves up in such gloomy times. (Plus social media will LOVE it). There are so many amazing museums (full, I’m sure, of talented dancers), and so many cheerful tunes, that the options must be endless. So, does anyone accept the challenge? This is obviously the best possible use of your Friday.
