Abstract

In 2017, inspiration from the performing arts catalyzed the transition to more guest-centered gallery teaching at The Dayton Art Institute. To initiate this shift we hired three performing artists to lead training sessions for teaching in the galleries to illustrate that interactive strategies create livelier experiences for museum guests. Consequently, we made changes to guide training and tours that were more far-reaching than anticipated. Techniques from the performing arts enrich museum teaching by supporting the skills with which guides react and respond to guests with ease and confidence, and transform tours to create more rewarding experiences for all.
