ACHF Arts Access
100% of participants have gained basic skills in devising and making a puppet show. They develop artistry in the form of puppetry, including visuals, narrative and performance and 100% of participants feel we have created a non-judgmental space to explore. Interviews and formal surveys with participants and mentors, as well as periodic check-ins so we can change things in the moment if it’s not going smoothly. We seek feedback about participants’ experience in the process, how mentors conveyed concepts and techniques, and areas for improvement. We track demographics to determine where we need to better promote to be inclusive of all the diversity within our community. We also track past participants’ engagement in other puppetry opportunities in the Twin Cities, and re-engagement with Monkeybear through workshops and projects.
100% felt they learned some basics of creating a piece. 90% stated they would continue to create their own puppet theater work. The other 10% percent stated they would incorporate puppetry into their primary medium.
