if else programming

Make Your Move @ OMCA was a pilot program developed by Muriel Maffre, Principal Dancer for the San Francisco Ballet, and Graduate Intern for the Oakland Museum of California (www.museumca.org). 

The program was a "hands-on" creative undertaking during which museum visitors experienced art through their body and mind. 

The first part of the program was a movement exploration workshop in the Gallery of California Art. In the second part of the program, participants chose an artwork on display in the Gallery, created an expressive gesture in response to the art, and donated the gesture to the Museum. 

The expressive gestures were videotaped by the Museum, and the collection is now posted on OMCA YouTube channel. In this video, program participant Danielle Forestier and Meredith Sanley chose Robert Hudson, Double Time, 1963 (Painted metal, 58.75 x 50 x 35 in.; Oakland Museum of California: Gift of the Women's Board).
