ACHF Cultural Heritage
Twin Cities artists Rita Mustaphi and JD Steele, along with a team of dancers and musicians, all are artists of color will collaborate to create a new work that delivers a message ‘Let us transcend all barriers, let us forsake all smallness and accept our differences to embrace each other!’ For diverse audience assimilation, KDT project leaders will interact and communicate with the targeted community and make it accessible for them to attend the work-in-progress showing. KDT Board members will plan the evaluation process and implement it through written and online surveys to be conducted at open rehearsals, community interactions, feedbacks from artistic peers and the show attendants. These responses and information from the diverse audience and engagements will enable Mr. Steele and Ms. Mustaphi to make compositional and/or choreographic revisions, resulting in full production with accompanying intercultural activities during the Fall of 2020.
Between information provided to us by our venue (The Southern Theater), and comp tickets coming from us, we can safely estimate that about 150 people attended the performance. According to our audience surveys, approximately 97% of respondents had a positive to extremely positive reaction to the production, while approx. 89% of respondents both learned from the show and related to its content.
