Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

400 audience members will attend the performance of 5 dance works (3 world premieres) danced by 13 company members and includes collaborations with 3 additional artists. 30% of audience members will participate in/respond to one of the offered audience engagement activities (survey, post-performance discussion, rehearsal video blog), 50% of survey respondents will feel connected to the dance works performed. Alternative Motion Project will evaluate this project through the number of audience members, the percentage of audience members involved in at least one engagement activity, audience feedback surveys, post-performance feedback/discussion, review of show and rehearsal videos, feedback interviews with artists. These results will be shared and analyzed by Alternative Motion Project's board for a final evaluation.

Measurable Outcome(s)

221 people attended a dance performance that featured 16 different artists from 3 art forms. Audience Surveys showed 62% of the audience sees 0-3 dance performances per year, showing a need for AMP to cater to those that don't regularly see dance. AMP Rehearsal Vlogs got a total of 1,251 views showing a need for more consistent opportunities for audiences to connect to the process.
