The cross pollination of 700+ audience members will take in the dance work by 8 different artists. Artists will take away a sense of a strong, supportive community around dance and feel supported in what they create and how they create. This festival will give the participants a chance to take classes from other artists, receive valuable feedback on their creative process, and build new audiences for their work. Evaluation of CANDY BOX will be based on the artistic process; audience and artist responses; and success in audience attendance. Janczewski will conduct evaluative follow-up interviews with every choreographer involved. ARENA DANCES will encourage feedback from audiences in post-performance discussions, lobby meet-and-greets, in-person comments, and through e-mails and social media. ARENA’s Chief Financial Officer on the Board, Gustave Mutombo will review project income and expenses as measured against the proposed budget. Staff will also prepare a report for the Board.
Qualitatively fulfilled the sense of the participating artists involved and how the engagement brought the artists closer together within the group by working together in this unprecedented event. Quantitatively, the goals of reaching 700+ audience members was not possible, however we were able to still reach people with our on-line virtual offerings described in project changes section.
