Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

I will compose an hour's worth of music that will be performed and paired with dance choreographed by Angelique Lele. The quality of the performances will be determined by both the audience's and the performers' response to the project. 2: Through music and dance this project will bring awareness to life with a Spinal Cord Injury, and that the injury is not an end. Through post performance discussion and questions I'll be able to tell if the project has shifted or opened new perspectives on life with a spinal cord injury.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Through music and dance this project brought awareness to life with a Spinal Cord Injury and understanding that the injury is not an end. Minnesotans came out and experience a live music and dance show centered around my desire to dance and move post-SCI.
