Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Artistic: 100% of Contempo's eight-member company, including Artistic Director/Lead Choreographer Marciano Silva dos Santos, will refresh and reignite an important work from our repertoire, working together in a satisfying co-creative process, to present a reworked, high-quality finished piece. Audience: We will meet attendance/ticket sales projections of 70% capacity; and audience interviews will show new or deeper interest in Afro/Brazilian dance, eagerness to experience artistic work that bridges traditional and contemporary forms, and appreciation for the artistic and cultural diversity inherent in our community. We will evaluate artistic and experiential success through one-on-one meetings with each dancer following the performances, and through post-show interviews with selected audience members (and record their responses). We will evaluate quantitative results by comparing budget to actual revenue (and expenses), and counting attendance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

100% of Contempo's eight-member company confirmed a satisfying co-creative process, which allowed them rework an important work from our repertoire. Attendance/ticket sales projections reached 70% capacity and audience interviews showed new or deeper interest in Afro/Brazilian contemporary dance and an appreciation for the artistic and cultural diversity inherent in our community.
