Project participants/audiences indicate a positive experience engaging with TU Dance's diverse artists and presented content. Obtain qualitative feedback/comments on public performance and post-show talk between artists and audiences; gather comments from students, venue partners on unique value of TU Dance artists/performances/activities.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Audiences reached locally responded positively to performances, and the resulting film is of a high quality for the work sharing statewide. We obtained attendance information from The O'Shaughnessy, including zip code data to aid in our reporting of geographic reach to date. We also gathered qualitative input from the dance artists involved.
