MCN 2020 VIRTUAL

There is a significant number of individuals in the #musetech community, and in the museum sector broadly, who come from a background in theatre. The processes of theatre tend to be very attractive to #musetech professionals, particularly in the areas of social media, content management, in-gallery interactives, UX design, extended reality, and more. What is involved in the authenticity of theatrical experiences that hold lessons for planning in #musetech? Why do museum professionals prefer in some cases to hire those with a theatre background for museum work? How does the exchange of energy in theatre that also occurs in museums provide for virtual engagement in a COVID-19 world?
You direct the conversation! This diverse panel of museum and historic site professionals with backgrounds in theatre will engage in a "Whose session is this, anyway?" style of rapid fire improvisational riffing based on attendee selection of themes.
