| dc.description | Arts Council England and Heritage Lottery Fund had commissioned Dr Maples to design a series of interactive events particularly targeting 18-30 year olds, an age group who have proven difficult to attract to the museum’s exhibitions and events. Through the creation of immersive experience performances, performative “decolonising the museum” tours, participatory workshops with adult themes including a new project on taboo and dark heritage, and the inclusion of social media and games design techniques in the museum space, this project facilitates research into the use of immersive performance and new technologies to transform expectations of the museum site. Within this project, Dr Maples is also facilitating work with the HLF funded Kick the Dust project for the Norwich Castle Museum, which is trying to build up skill levels and attract young people, particularly at risk communities, to the heritage industry. | en_US |
