Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will evaluate Eclectic Edge Ensemble's ôRhythm Flow Eclectic Edge Ensemble's 15th Anniversary Show" successes if we are able to collaborate with 25 different artists (between designers, performers, composers, choreographers and director) and have 500 patrons attend our production with 200 repeat attendees to future EEE productions. By building strong relationships with five local businesses or community programs in the Minneapolis Warehouse District neighborhood surrounding The Lab, and over the four shows we hope to collect at least 200 demographic surveys from our audiences that show 60% are new audience members to EEE. 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 works, giving us evidence of the success of EEE's mission. We will have a talk back with our audience after the 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 ôRhythm Flow."
