  • 12: Introducing museum theatre to Ghana
    Feb 8 2024
    In this episode I muse with Emmanuel Jewel Peprah Mensah who is a theatre practitioner, researcher, and the current head of the performing arts department at the Centre for National Culture, Ashanti Region, Ghana, West Africa. 
    We discuss tourism as an incentive for creating museum theatre, working with a range of different stakeholders (including royalty) and process of interpreting important cultural artefacts such as a linguist staff.
    This interview is particularly exciting because historically museum theatre doesn’t have a huge presence in West Africa, but Emmanuel is one of the key people working towards developing a local museum theatre movement to interpret cultural collections at historic sites in Ghana.

  • 11: Education, institutional knowledge, and making friends with museum security guards
    Jan 22 2024
    In this episode I muse with Lyn Beasley, who has been a key figure in educational and public programming at both the National Museum of Victoria (now called the Melbourne Museum), and the National Museum of Australia for over forty years. We discuss early inspirations, championing and producing shows, museum education, and the importance of institutional knowledge when developing museum theatre. She also tells us about what she learned from past works, and the vital importance of getting museum security guards on side if you are thinking about putting on a show.

  • 10: Episode 10 - Teens Make History at the Missouri Historical Society
    Nov 7 2023
    In this episode host Jo Clyne muses with the Elizabeth Pickard about her work founding the Teens Make History museum theatre program at the Missouri Historical Society. In this extraordinary initiative, high school students are employed as paid apprentices at the museum to devise and perform shows relating to local histories. We consider the power of students recreating local events such as the civil rights sit-ins at local diners during the 1940s, and unexpected outcomes such as the improvement of school results in History amongst student participants. We also discuss the time that the program received an award from former First Lady Michelle Obama, and the transformative nature of museum theatre.
