The Democracy of Beings is the second of two programmes, following an initial research phase (DM1) that ran from June 2015 to March 2017. You can find details of DM1 here.
In this period of accelerated change, there is an urgent need for professionalism, shared vocabulary and a coherent conceptual framework that makes sense of the many different approaches to audience engagement.
In Dancing Museums – The Democracy of Beings, individuals and arts organisations share, improve, develop and transfer skills and knowledge needed to broaden and deepen connections and relationships with audiences.
The practice-led research group, composed of artists, dance organisations, museums and universities from seven countries, looks at how the presence of dance can offer new ways of experiencing art and heritage and help audiences and visitors engage both intellectually and viscerally with artworks. The knowledge and experience generated throughout the project will empower the organisations and artists involved with the skills needed to implement meaningful audience development projects beyond the duration of the project.
These practices will be shared and documented in each location to build evidence and ensure consistency of data and anecdotal information.
Coronavirus update:
The period of constant change we have recently been living through, where we are unable to meet in person, has made it necessary to explore new ways of working together, new ways to continue our collective research and new ways to make certain events public. We have decided to use this time as a phase of experimentation. Everyone involved in Dancing Museums is focusing on what and how we can build differently. It is a challenging and exciting task, an experiment that brings many opportunities to try new ideas that would never emerge in a normal situation.

🇮🇹 "Questo museo è sicuramente casa, ormai, eppure ci ha sorpreso quante cose non conoscevamo, quanti dettagli ci erano sfuggiti, in che modo più consapevole possiamo abitare questi spazi". Ci piace riassumere così questo secondo periodo di ricerca nelle sale dei museibassano, parte di #DancingMuseums, progetto europeo sostenuto dal programma #CreativeEurope dell'Unione Europea, che ha visto l'artista della danza Masako Matsushita tam_matsu proseguire la propria ricerca e sperimentare le pratiche artistiche nelle sale del Museo, dallo spazio digitale. Ad accompagnarla in questa ricerca le danzatrici beatricebresolin, vittoria_caneva, annagrigiante_, ilamarcolin ed elena.sgarbossa, insieme all'artista visiva Sara Lando holeinthefabric, e – collegata dalla Norvegia – la coreografa Ingvild Isaksen polakken.

🇬🇧 And that's a wrap on the second session of researching and experimenting creative practices in the rooms of the City Museum in Bassano del Grappa, led by Masako Matsushita, Italian dance artist of the project #DancingMuseums, supported by the #CreativeEurope programme of the European Union.
In a digital space that connected partners and fellow artists from all over Europe, including Ingvild Isaksen from Norway, Masako led five local dance artists and one visual artist in continuing the research of new ways to inhabit the space of the museum, to connect with the artworks and engage with the audience.
"This Museum feels like a second home for local artists" they shared "but it is surprising how much we did not know about it: it was fun to discover tiny details we missed and it has been enriching to be able to research how to inhabit this rooms with a different awareness".

Listen to the six #DancingMuseums artists and their radio creation specially conceived to mark the end of the Biennale de danse du Val-de-Marne. Since being together is impossible, this audio programme becomes a meeting point where these six voices conduct an experiment: can the radio allow us to be together, to have a dialogue, dance from a distance?
Listen in on the 4 April at 7pm CET 👉 https://www.alabriqueterie.com/
In English
Sit back and put on your headphones, if you like!

#DANCINGMUSEUMS Durant aquesta setmana, l’artista resident quimbigas i les vuit artistes convidades han enregistrat un vídeo habitant soles els espais buits del museu utilitzant diverses estratègies de composició instantània. Aquest treball videogràfic s’inclourà en la col·lecció d’obres de la fundaciomiro
Continua la residència de l’artista Quim Bigas a la Fundació Miró en el marc de la segona edició del Dancing Museums, en la qual el Mercat de les Flors participa com a estructura promotora.

"Abitare il museo, per giorni, scoprirne i dettagli attraverso la danza, che gioia e che privilegio!". Basta una frase delle danzatrici coinvolte, per riassumere la prima parte della speciale residenza al Museo Civico museibassano, parte del progetto #DancingMuseums, sostenuto dal programma #CreativeEurope dell'Unione Europea.
Dopo il workshop digitale della scorsa settimana live da Nottigham, infatti, la ricerca dell'artista della danza Masako Matsushita tam_matsu, prosegue tra spazio digitale e spazio museale: grazie a un gruppo di artiste della danza e artiste visive del territorio, infatti, in questi giorni Masako ha potuto abitare gli spazi del Museo con le pratiche artistiche sviluppate durante il progetto, e indagare i temi della cura degli spazi, dell'esperienza di visita all'interno di un museo, della ricerca ed esposizione delle identità di chi lo attraversa, in dialogo con le opere esposte.
Ad abitare il museo per tre giorni, le artiste Beatrice Bresolin beatricebresolin, Vittoria Caneva vittoria_caneva, Anna Grigiante annagrigiante_, Ilaria Marcolin ilamarcolin, Sara Lando holeinthefabric, Elena Sgarbossa, che torneranno anche ad aprile per proseguire la ricerca.

I’m thrilled to say that I’ve received Arts Council England funding for some activity this summer, connected to #DancingMuseums2. I’ve curated two residencies to take place on site at Newstead Abbey.
👻 Mary Pearson and mayfield brooks with their project ‘How to be afraid?’ exploring the artists' ancestral connections with transatlantic slavery, asking how we can face fear, heal from trauma and repair deep historical schisms.
👻 Seke Chimutengwende and five dancers, making a dance piece looking at ghosts and haunted houses as a metaphor for how the horrors of transatlantic slavery and colonialism haunt the present.
I’m really looking forward to inviting these artists into this historical site and very hopeful that there will be some live audiences there to witness what happens. There will also be films made during the residencies. Watch this space.
Both pics taken from a panel discussion entitled ‘Haunting Newstead Abbey’ with artists sekechim, mayfieldbrookz, #SeasonButler and #MaryPearson. Link in bio to watch the talk.
ID: 1, a screen grab of a zoom webinar with artists Seke Chimutengwende, mayfield brooks, Mary Pearson and Season Butler. There is a caption, taken from the webinar, which is blown up and highlighted, which reads, ‘peak ghostliness’.
2, the same as above but from a few seconds later in the webinar. The caption reads, ‘Do you individually believe in ghosts.’

🇮🇹 Si è conclusa venerdì la residenza digitale del progetto europeo #DancingMuseums a Nottingham, dal titolo "Acts of Social and Political Change: New Voices". Focus della ricerca è stato infatti il tema del cambiamento: quando il cambiamento è possibile? Come si attiva? Quali sono le responsabilità di artisti e professionisti del mondo della cultura nel panorama socio-politico? Queste alcune delle domande che hanno guidato artisti e partner in una settimana di visite digitali alla città, conversazioni, workshop ma anche serate di poesia contemporanea e una "movie night". Trovate tutto sul blog di www.dancingmuseums.com, e sul canale youtube del progetto. Se fate swipe tra le foto, invece, tre disegni di Temujen Gunawardena tem.jam riassumono i temi e le parole chiave della settimana!
La ricerca però non termina qui: prosegue da oggi, da remoto grazie alla collaborazione di un team speciale di artiste locali, l'indagine dell'artista Masako Matsushita tam_matsu all'interno dei museibassano.

🇬🇧 Words and images from the workshop nr.5 of the European project #DancingMuseums, titled "Acts of Social and Political change: New Voices". It focused on change: when is change possible? How does it happen? What are our responsibilities as arts leaders within the social and political landscape?
Find the reflections and the videos in the project's journal on www.dancingmuseums.com and on the youtube channel. Here the three drawings by artist Temujen Gunawardena tem.jam capturing the key words of the week!
The research continues remotely for the Italian artist Masako Matsushita tam_matsu : she'll continue her research at museibassano thanks to the collaboration of a group of local artists connecting with her in the digital space while working in the museum's rooms.
