ACHF Arts Access
Performing arts patrons will have the opportunity attend an interdisciplinary show where dance and music equally contribute to the artistic process. Success will be measured on the day of the performance by ticket sales and online audience feedback through the use of google forms and QR codes. 2: I will compose a new work for eight musicians of the Cherry Spoon Collective in collaboration with choreographer Maggie Bergeron and eight dancers. I will consult participating musicians and dancers daily, asking for qualitative feedback of the proposed rehearsal process. Discussions will be documented using video and audio recording technology.
Time was allotted for audience feedback after the performance. Audience members were able to give feedback moderated by a dance community member. Presale tickets were not as high as expected, and we did not fill the space to our targeted amount. Audience feedback was measured using a talkback method for real time reflection. 2: Continuous qualitative feedback was acquired from all participating musicians and dancers. Musicians and Dancers were able to include their own independent ideas when it came to soloing / improvising moves. This gave the piece a deeper contextual connection for the performing artists.
