I have been privileged to work as storyteller-in-residence at a number of museums, establishing relationships with visitors and staff, while exploring the narrative potential of each collection. In 1999 I was invited to perform Gilgamesh for the re-opening of the Ancient Near Eastern galleries of the Metropolitan Museum.  My collaboration with that institution continues to this day.   (Click here to see a recent MMA article by Dr. Michael Norris.) At the Yale Center for British Art, curator of education Linda Friedlaender has championed the link between visual education and literacy.  Our annual summer institute called "Constructing Meaning" was recently featured at the AAM conference. Other partnerships have included the University of Pennsylvania Museum and the New Britain Museum of American Art.
