Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants indicate improvement on at least six of ten artistic and professional skills. The skills on the self-assessment will align with the learning goals for the workshop series, which will be finalized after polling participants in their most needed skill areas. Participants will take a pre-project self-assessment to benchmark their abilities, and a post-project self-assessment to determine improvement. In addition, participants will complete an evaluation to provide feedback on the project's general efficacy.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We gave space to 11 new directors to learn skills, build community, and meet other artists more advanced in their careers. 100% of the participants who returned their survey say they grew as a director during this program.
