Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1. Collaborate with at least ten community organizations to provide audiences with the opportunity to learn about and experience Chinese dance. 2. Coinciding with the Chinese New Year, offer two community performances of a major dance production for at least 1,200 audience members. 3. Offer two shows for children during the school day and provide free tickets to at least 200 children from schools with a majority of children receiving free or reduced meals. Assess outreach program and review the artistic success of productions.

Measurable Outcome(s)

1. We performed for over thirty organizations, including nonprofits, educational institutions, governmental groups, businesses, and others. We solicit feedback from these partners and regularly review the scope and quality of programming. 2. On January 21 and 22, 2012, we produced a ninety-minute show at the O'Shaughnessy Auditorium in Saint Paul for almost 1,200 audience members of all ages. We receive regular feedback from audience members and dancers. 3. On January 24, 2012, we performed two 45-minute shows at the O'Shaughnessy. More than 1,000 children of school age from the Twin Cities attended this show, of which 182 receive subsidized meals. Evaluations were collected from schools attending the performance.
