ACHF Arts Access
Our goals with this project include training at minimum 15 individuals who are new to stage combat in the art form, and that our artists new and veteran feel that our production was both a welcoming and uplifting environment and artistically challenging by the end of the process, with emphasis on the former (with a goal of 75% positive to welcoming and uplifting, 25% neutral, and a goal of 50% positive regarding artistically challenging, 25% neutral). We also are setting a goal of 700 audience members, while expecting 600. To find out a participant's experience with Stage Combat, we will include a question on audition forms asking for information on past experience with stage combat. To gather information on the reactions of our artists, we will give an electronic survey to all of our cast members after the closing performance, asking details about the process and the atmosphere of the rehearsal and performance rooms. We will also keep detailed count of our audience size and makeup through our Box Office.
92 artists, 79 being performers in the show, performed two full shows over the course of one month for a combined audience of 854. 100% of our artists surveyed would recommend the process, with 80% giving highest possible marks in that regard. Even in doubling the number of artists, we were able to expand our diversity representation in some areas, including gender non-binary and physical disability.
