Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Roberts will perform Approaching Winter to 3 audiences of different ages in 3 different locations, to stimulate discussion about perceptions of age, touching on themes not often explored in dance. Explores ways to safely dance despite an aging body. Older dancers can continue to dance, dispelling the assumption that dance is only for the young. Conduct talk-backs on the topic of aging at a charter school, college, and senior center—with teens, young adults, and senior citizens—and will survey attendees about their ages/overall impressions. Roberts will show her progress through YouTube videos, and will engage audiences in talk-backs on the topic of aging and dance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Roberts performed/conducted talk-backs on the topic of aging (not often explored in dance) with teens, young adults, and seniors, and asked attendees about their ages/overall impressions. Roberts presented a final solo to two audiences varying in age.
