Friday links

It's been a while between drinks but here are a couple of interesting projects and sites I've come across lately...

• Have you heard about this exhibition? We're quite excited about it in Collections. It's called 'Move: Choreographing You - Art and Dance' and it's on at the Hayward Gallery in London. Using interactive sculptures and installations this show explores the intersection of dance and art over the past 50 years by encouraging people to actually dance there way through the exhibition.You can check out more about the show at this great microsite.
•  Caboodle is a fun kids/museums/digital project.You can read more about it here and here but basically it's a great way of getting kids invloved with collections by visiting museums, talking to curators, taking photos and uploading them to the Caboodle site. They can also become part of an online club and it is used both by schools and individuals. Kids don't have to interact with collections they can also draw, build, find something they want to photograph and upload.
• The site where I found out about Caboodle is also worth a look. It's called Culture24 and it's run by a not-for-profit group working across the areas of arts, heritage, education and tourism in the UK. If you haven't come across it before it's definately worth exploring and being inspired.

Glowdoodle @ Zeum: San Francisco's Children's Museum

Here's a few interesting bits and pieces I've found in my travels through the Interweb this week:

• Zeum: San Francisco's Children's Museum have some great public programs not unlike those offered by   the Digital Learning Hub (check out the Music Video Field Trip). Their new program Glowdoodle also has me intrigued. They have a lively presence on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Yelp and YouTube and take the 3Cs of 21st century literacy - Creativity, Collaboration and Commuication  - very seriously.
• This useful page from MIT TechTV which explains why people should use royalty-free music for their videos and where they can get it.
•  These public programs offered as part of Seattle's Arts Crush 2010. I especially like the one about making your own stage blood!
