Ten Thousand Things will discover new ways to connect with and understand the needs, assets, and challenges of the communities it serves. At each creative community engagement Artist Instigators will collect participant feedback and document what was learned, what offerings were most impactful and ideas for future creative engagements. 2: Underserved audiences will be more inclined to participate in theater events as a result of TTT Artist Investigator activities. We will keep track of whether creative engagement participants attend TTT shows and also follow up with surveys asking whether they are likely to attend future theater events.
Ten Thousand Things discovered new ways to connect with and understand the needs, assets, and challenges of the communities it serves. TTT artists who led workshops provided detailed reports of each workshop, including content, level of engagement, response from participants, and thoughts for future engagement. 2: Some underserved audiences were more inclined to participate in theatre events as a result of TTT Artist Investigator activities. Workshop leaders directly asked participants if they would be more inclined to participate in theater events as a result of this program.
