Present an evening length dance and multidisciplinary performance at a Twin Cities Theater. Facilitate a sustaining and respectful work environment that supports and challenges the artists/collaborators involved. For each show at the theater we will keep track of the ticket sales and complimentary tickets shared to calculate audience size. Facilitate formal feedback and check-in sessions throughout the project followed by an Artist Survey of their experience in the project post run of the show.
