Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

In a restorative year, the Minnesota Ballet will reinvigorate all programing, leading Minnesotans to greater appreciation of the art of dance. Reinvigorated programing will increase appreciation among audiences and participants, as measured by participant surveys, documented reaction, social media response, and outcome-based evaluation.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Audience members were delighted, moved, and inspired by Minnesota Ballet's four live performances and outreach programs during the 2021-2022 season. Observation of audience reaction, review of feedback provided by social media post, email, letters, phone calls, and conversation.
