Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
We proposed to engage 17 artists to develop and present RAPTURE to 374 audience members (over 11 performances). At least 85% of audience and guest artist survey respondents describe RAPTURE as a positive artistic experience.We evaluated our success through attendance counts, post-performance audience surveys and post-production guest artist surveys. We also observed informal feedback from artists and audience members, as well as pre- and post-performance conversation and engagement.
Measurable Outcome(s)
All survey respondents described their experience at RAPTURE positively; 344 people attended and approximately 50 people attended the pop-up gallery reception; 62% of audience experienced a Savage Umbrella production for the first time.
