Hello, I'm presenting a conference paper soon with the topic of dancing in
museum spaces. I've interviewed a NPS ranger and a few MWSD callers. Having
developed a niche as a caller for reenactments, I've called in 20+ museums and
historic sites over the past 30+ years, so I'll be sharing a lot of my own
experience and thoughts.
I would love to incorporate comments from any callers who have also performed
in museum spaces.
If you have thoughts on the following topics, I'd love to hear from you: the
museum where you called, sound system issues and acoustics, dancer skill level,
band considerations, costuming, floor surface, room obstacles, outdoor spaces,
insurance, capacity, spectators, weather, historical accuracy, cultural
sensitivities, fees, audience expectations, etc.
Again, I'm focusing solely on museums and not other private gigs, but I would
love to hear your thoughts. You are welcome to post here or email me directly.
Thanks!--Deborah HylandFort Scott, KS
