News Update for London's Museums @LondonMusDev E-update for London’s Museums – 12 October 2020 The government is expected to make an announcement later today (Monday 12 October) about a new three-tier alert system for local lockdowns in England. The system is expected to impose three different tiers of lockdown levels, depending on the number of cases per 100,000 of population. Do keep an eye out for this announcement, which may impact your organisation depending on the alert level for your organisation’s local area. On the 24 September, new Covid-19 measures took effect in England. You can find further information about the new measures on the gov.uk website, and how they will impact your organisation, including updates on face coverings, Test and Trace, and new rules for businesses selling food. It is important that your organisation is fully up to date with these changes and you can find an overview on a number of the new measures below. The NMDC has updated their Good Practice Guidelines to reflect many of the recent changes which have taken place in September, you can find further information about this guidance and the AIM and Museum Development Network’s accompanying checklist below. The situation may change as Covid-19 cases continue to rise in the UK, so it is important to keep an eye on the news and the Gov.uk website for the latest information. The government has announced information on the new Job Support Scheme, which will replace the current Furlough Scheme. Unlike the furlough scheme (which ends on 31 October), this is designed to "support only viable jobs" as opposed to jobs that currently exist because the government is continuing to subsidise the wages. Under the scheme, the government will subsidise the pay of employees who are working fewer than normal hours due to lower demand. For the hours employees can't work, the government and the employer will each cover one third of the lost pay. The scheme will run for six months, starting on November 01. You can find more information about the new scheme on the Gov.uk website and below. Arts Council England has announced the recipients of the first round of the Culture Recovery Fund, an investment of £257 million in 1,385 venues, theatres, museums and cultural organisations. We at London Museum Development would like to offer our congratulations to the London museums who were successful in their applications, Brunel Museum, Charles Dickens Museum, Florence Nightingale Museum Trust, Garden Museum, Headstone Manor & Museum, Jewish Museum London, Museum of the Order of St John, Musical Museum, Old Operating Theatre Museum and the Postal Museum. You can find further information on ACE’s website. Meanwhile, we at London Museum Development have announced the recipients of our Museums Re-Opening and Art Fund supported Museums Recovery Grants programmes. Bethlem Museum of the Mind, Brent Museum and Archives, Dr Johnson’s House, Estorick Collection of Modern Art, Florence Nightingale Museum, The Freud Museum and The Society of Antiquaries of London have been awarded Museums Re-Opening Grants. This will help them to ensure that appropriate measures, equipment and training are in place for a safe re-opening. Five museums were successful in applications to the Museums Recovery Grants. The Old Operating Theatre, The Freud Museum, Association of Anaesthetists Heritage Centre, Kingston Museum Service and Bruce Castle Museum will be supported to analyse and assess their current position and to identify priorities for activity to support post Covid recovery through a short, facilitated self-assessment process. Each museum will receive a grant to help them to address priorities identified through the programme. You can find further details about the programmes on our website. Arts Council England’s relaunched National Lottery Project Grants have been designed to help fund independent organisations, creative practitioners and freelancers as quickly as possible. New supplementary guidance for museums can be found on their website. From 5 October until March 2021, NPOs will be eligible to apply to National Lottery Project Grants for activities over £15,000. Further details about the National Lottery Project Grants can be found below. You can also find a recording of the refresher session on Project Grants, delivered by ACE’s Sue Barnard, Senior Relationship Manager and Mirka Kotulicova, Relationship Manager, Museums, on our YouTube channel. The final round of the Art Fund's ‘Respond and Reimagine grants’ closes today. These grants aim to help museums, galleries and cultural organisations respond to immediate challenges connected to the Covid-19 crisis, and offer support to adapt and reimagine ways of working for the future. The Respond and Reimagine grants offer funding from £10,000 to £50,000. The third and final round has a deadline of today, Monday 12 October, at 5:30pm. For further information about these grants, including who can apply and what they will fund, please visit their website. The fifth round of the Weston Loan Programme is now open for applications. The programme provides funding and training for regional museums and galleries to secure important strategic loans from major UK collections. A fund of between £5,000-£25,000 is available. Further information can be found on the Art Fund website. Applications deadline is 6 November 2020. AIM has worked with the national Museum Development Network to produce an accompanying checklist to the museum reopening guidance, published by the National Museum Directors’ Council (NMDC) with support from DCMS and the Museums and Galleries Working Group. You can find the Guidance, and the Checklist, on AIM’s website here. If you would like help or advice with reopening, do contact your MDO. The Government has also clarified how organisations are expected to support the NHS Test and Trace. You can find further information on Test and Trace on the Gov.uk website. We have added a number of new training session recordings to our YouTube channel. These include ‘Creating a digital 360 tour of your museum’, ‘Planning for Alternative Futures’, ‘Making a basic digital interactive’, ‘Video Editing’ and a series of training sessions on using social media. You can also get the code for the ‘Planning for the future of volunteer management’ training session by emailing us directly and letting us know which organisation you work for.

  • The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: the Life Cycle of the Child Performer
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Humanities Faculty School of Music April 2016 \A person's a person, no matter how small." Dr. Seuss UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Abstract Humanities Faculty School of Music Doctor of Philosophy The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook The purpose of the research reported here is to explore the part played by children in musical theatre. It aims to do this on two levels. It presents, for the first time, an historical analysis of involvement of children in theatre from its earliest beginnings to the current date. It is clear from this analysis that the role children played in the evolution of theatre has been both substantial and influential, with evidence of a number of recurring themes. Children have invariably made strong contributions in terms of music, dance and spectacle, and have been especially prominent in musical comedy. Playwrights have exploited precocity for comedic purposes, innocence to deliver difficult political messages in a way that is deemed acceptable by theatre audiences, and youth, recognising the emotional leverage to be obtained by appealing to more primitive instincts, notably sentimentality and, more contentiously, prurience. Every age has had its child prodigies and it is they who tend to make the headlines. However the influence of educators and entrepreneurs, artistically and commercially, is often underestimated. Although figures such as Wescott, Henslowe and Harris have been recognised by historians, some of the more recent architects of musical theatre, like Noreen Bush, are largely unheard of outside the theatre community.

  • By Mike Klozar Have You Dreamed of Visiting London, but Felt It Would
    By Mike Klozar Have you dreamed of visiting London, but felt it would take a week or longer to sample its historic sites? Think again. You can experience some of London's best in just a couple of days. Day One. • Thames River Walk. Take a famous London Black Cab to the Tower of London. The ride is an experience, not just a taxi. (15-30 min.) • Explore the Tower of London. Keep your tour short, but be sure to check out the Crown Jewels. (1-2 hrs.) • Walk across the Tower Bridge. It's the fancy blue one. (15 min.) From here you get the best view of the Tower of London for photos. • Cross over to Butler's Wharf and enjoy lunch at one of the riverfront restaurants near where Bridget lived in Bridget Jones's Diary. (1.5 hrs.) • Keeping the Thames on your right, you'll come to the warship HMS Belfast. Tours daily 10 a.m.-4 p.m. (30 min.-1 hr.) • Walk up London Bridge Street to find The Borough Market. Used in countless films, it is said to be the city's oldest fruit and vegetable market, dating from the mid-1200s. (1 hr.) • Back on the river, you'll discover a tiny ship tucked into the docks: a replica of Sir Francis Drake's Golden Hind, which braved pirates in the days of yore. (15 min.) • Notable London pubs are situated along the route and are good for a pint, a cup of tea and a deserved break. Kids are welcome.

  • The Bourse De Commerce — Pinault Collection, a Museum Accessible to Everyone
    The Bourse de Commerce — Pinault Collection, a museum accessible to everyone In the heart of Paris, the Bourse de Commerce — Pinault Collection presents part of the contemporary art collection amassed by François Pinault over the past forty years. In the historic building of the former Bourse de Commerce (com- modities exchange), restored and transformed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, a dialogue emerges between heritage and contemporary creation. Through the prism of a collector’s gaze on the art of today and in an effort to increase public awareness and understanding, the Bourse de Commerce — Pinault Collection offers regular exhibitions and hangings of contemporary art, with artist com- missions, cartes blanches and a rich programme of cultural events: lectures, screenings, concerts and performances. Open to everyone, the Bourse de Commerce — Pinault Collection strives to offer an accessible and inclusive pro- gramme of events in line with its exhibitions. Finally, the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection is equip- ped with all the necessary facilities to ensure that everyone’s visit is a pleasant and stress-free experience. Certain areas of this listed building with historic monument status are subject to preservation constraints and therefore, do not feature standard accessibility norms. This booklet explains the visiting conditions and resources put at your disposal in order to facilitate your access and visit to the museum.

  • Libeskind's Jewish Museum Berlin
    Encountering empty architecture: Libeskind’s Jewish Museum Berlin Henrik Reeh Preamble In Art Is Not What You Think It Is, Claire Farago and Donald Preziosi observe how the architecture of contemporary museums inspires active relationships between exhibitions and visitors.1 Referring to the 2006 Denver Art Museum by Daniel Libeskind, they show the potentials germinating in a particular building. When artists and curators are invited to dialog with the spaces of this museum, situations of art-in-architecture may occur which go beyond the ordinary confrontation of exhibitions and spectatorship, works and visitors. Libeskind’s museum is no neutral frame in the modernist tradition of the white cube, but a heterogeneous spatiality. These considerations by Farago and Preziosi recall the encounter with earlier museums by Libeskind. Decisive experiences particularly date back to the year 1999 when his Jewish Museum Berlin was complete as a building, long before being inaugurated as an exhibition hall in 2001. Open to the public for guided tours in the meantime, the empty museum was visited by several hundred thousand people who turned a peripheral frame of future exhibitions into the center of their sensory and mental attention. Yet, the Libeskind building was less an object of contemplation than the occasion for an intense exploration of and in space. Confirming modernity’s close connection between exhibition and architecture, Libeskind’s Jewish Museum Berlin unfolds as a strangely dynamic and fragmented process, the moments of which call for elaboration and reflection. I. Architecture/exhibition Throughout modernity, exhibitions and architecture develop in a remarkably close relationship to one another.
