Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We aim to achieve two measurable outcomes involving both the quality of Storydance productions, and then numbers of people reached through performances. This will be done through 1) A final survey showing 70% of audience members gave the final show a favorable rating 2) audience total numbers of 70 people or better for final shows. For evaluation of the project we will consider quantitative and qualitative data. Methods used include Audience and Participant count; Audience/Participant online surveys via Storydance Facebook page; informal Post-Performance Audience feedback through discussion, and options for simple creative writing and drawing activities; Artist surveys and informal feedback.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Exact numbers of attendance are difficult achieve with Zoom and Vimeo use, as ticketing could include more than one person per event. However, based on ticket sales: We had: 15-20 people attending 3 Gathering Events; 22 tickets for full and donation based pay for the filmed play; 22 people in attendance for 2 outdoor performances; 11 artists, 2 filmmakers, 1 dance coach participate.
