MUSEUM PERFORMANCE TRAINING

Current Training Programme link

Museum Theatre Practice or Museum Performance as developed by Triangle is an emergent methodology that explores the mutual ground between museology and performance.

Triangle's Museum Theatre Practice is an investigation of the museum's process of regeneration, conservation and pillage, and focusses on performative phenomena such as disappearance, absence and fantasy.

Triangle's museum theatre work is distinguished by the creation of detailed characterisation and the de-centring of the performing subject during extended improvisations. This format explores the sometimes comical ambitions of living history, bringing the
personal and family histories of the performer into dialogue with oral histories, historical sites and artifacts.

Recent performances have taken place on an isolated scout camp, a Roman Fort, an impoverished street due for redevelopment, and an abandoned convent. Productions are based around carefully structured alternative realities, and seek out unpredictable strategic interactions by non-performers and the general public.

Recent productions Nina and Frederick (1997-2003), Whissell & Williams (2001-2005), and The Singing Nun (2002-2006) have created a complex network of affectively ambiguous encounters between the historical and the everyday, between the politically correct and the anachronistic.

These pages cover workshop and training we have led in the past and that can be adapted to suit your needs. From time to time we devise training programmes related to a current project.
