Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Five guest artists/organizations will engage members of the Young Dance company in exploring the intersection of dance and other art forms. Dancers will learn concepts related to film, writing, visual art, music, and arts activism. Young Dance directors will observe and write summaries of the processes experienced by dancers with each guest artists. We will track the number of dancers participating in each project.

Measurable Outcome(s)

34 dancers, ages 7-18, were introduced to drag performance, Indian dance, dance/film. Dancers, Young Dance staff, and audience learned drag performance is a vehicle to discover, reveal, and elevate facets of ones identity. 8 young choreographers created dances that explored crossroads of dance with other art forms, including poetry, music, mask-making, and visual art.
