Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Over 500 people will watch this performance by no less than 6 artists. Over 90% of all artists involved will demonstrate and attest to increased cultural competency as a result of being involved. We will get an audience count from the Horror Festival itself, and the Production team will account for all participating artists. We will develop an evaluation to assess cultural competency amongst the artists.
Measurable Outcome(s)
475 audience members attended the 5 performances by a team of 20 artists. Survey responses indicated that the racial diversity of our audiences increased by 50%. Dangerous Productions tripled the number of artists of color that we have worked with.
