I've often been asked about examples of participatory practice in theater, dance, and classical music, and this report is a great starting point.

The “we” isn’t always staff; in most cases, our staff work with community partners in a participatory, co-creative model. We develop the ideas.

In the history gallery, we have some blended props and artifacts, and it's rarely clear what is and is not ok to touch. This is only going to become a bigger issue for us as we invite in new audiences and incorporate more participatory experiences throughout the museum. It also made visitors feel like they could do it too.
