We will evaluate Eclectic Edge Ensemble's "Foot Flight by Night" successes if we are able to collaborate with 20 different artists (between designers, performers, composers, director and choreographer) and have 500 patrons attend our production with 200 repeat attendees to future Eclectic Edge Ensemble productions. We would like to have 100 students participate in our Foot Flight by Night youth poetry competition Over the 4 shows we hope to collect at least 200 demographic surveys from our audiences that show 60% are new audience members to Eclectic Edge Ensemble. Audience members will be asked to take a survey to help us evaluate our marketing strategies and continue to document age and diversity in our audience pool. All surveys will also have space provided to give suggestions to help us continue to serve them better, and to leave comments about their interpretation of the piece, giving us evidence of the success of Eclectic Edge Ensemble's mission. We will have a talk back with our audience after the Thursday evening and Sunday matinee performance to talk about our process and answer any questions and receive spoken feedback on the production. Cast, creators, designers and crew will hold a post mortem meeting after the production closes and fill out artist surveys with their evaluation, reaction and feedback on our process for Foot Flight by Night.
