During their six months at the MIA, Brandon Boat and Tane Danger trained docents and guides in new approaches to engage visitors and worked with curators on new ideas for exhibition experiences. They also worked with museum staff across divisions on ways to foster stronger collaboration and greater agility in storytelling, communication, and more. The opportunity to bring Tane and Brandon to the MIA presented itself as a chance to build capacity, to offer new tips and techniques to the MIA’s docent corps, and to infuse museum staff with new approaches to improvisation and innovation.
