Twin Cities Ballet will commission a Latino ballet score, present it to a primarily Latino audience involved in the evolution of the composition. Our outcome will be evaluated by audience enthusiasm of the finished score and focus group feedback from the mini-concerts.
Twin Cities Ballet commissioned a Latino ballet score, but was unable to present it in concert due to cancellations because of Covid-19. No evaluation was possible because of the project's cancellation. Twin Cities Ballet discussed the challenges with its artistic collaborators, and created procedures and safeguards to ensure future projects and collaborations can be more successful.
