interpretation is an art that includes many arts, it includes storytelling and imagination

interpretation is not instruction, but provocation. Interpreters should provoke emotion, interest, connection, etc. and allow people to be motivated
explain Tilden’s fifth principle?
interpretation should aim to present a whole rather than any part, focusing on broader THEMES rather than isolated TOPICS or details

interpretation should be appropriate for any age, children should take an entirely different approach than adults, focusing on engagement and activity
