Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1) This project will create an original, high quality dance work in an area with a lack of art dance performance. 2) This project will allow an emerging artist access to the materials and mentorship required for creating fine art jewelry. 1) Video recording, 2) Data collection about audience attendance and revenue earned, 3) Survey, onsite at capstone event to college data about audience: age, race, gender, identity, and advertising success/how they found out about the project.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Both goals - designing and creating a piece of fine jewelry, and choreographing a dance for film - were met. I accomplished this with mentorship from many local artists, and support of community members who attended the showing of the film.
