ACHF Cultural Heritage
Jawaahir dancers and musicians will deepen their knowledge of Arabic dance and music by performing to, and learning the rich history of, the music of Arab artist Um Kalsoun. Audience surveys will show that 85% of responders enjoyed experiencing this work in the intimate Jawaaahir Studio setting, and therefore have a deeper appreciation of how dance and music engage and inspire audiences in this more traditional format. Jawaahir will provide short written surveys for audiences, along with post-show conversations in which we will record comments, questions, and observations. Typical of all our performances, the company will meet at the conclusion of the run to review all aspects of the process and the performance - satisfaction with the rehearsal process, the staging, the repertoire, their ability to engage with the audience, etc. Qualitatively, we count attendance and measure ticket sales against budgeted projections, and administrative staff reviews the impact of our marketing.
Jawaahir dancers and musicians gained rich experience with the work of one of the Arab World’s most revered artists. In short written surveys and conversations after performances, audience members told us they loved the work and enjoyed being so close to dancers and musicians. About 8% reported this was their first time attending a Jawaahir concert, and that they planned to come again.
