We propose to include the work of 17 artists in our production. We propose to hold 10 performances reaching 150 audience participants, and 2 workshops serving 30 youth participants. Our goal is to have at least 10% of our audience come from the Corcoran, Howe, Longfellow, and Standish neighborhoods of Minneapolis. In order to evaluate our outcomes, we will do an artist and audience count at performances and workshops, as well as conduct a post-performance survey.
