Arts Activities Support
ACHF Arts Access
Success will be measured by the response of the audience and participants to the 2015 Clara’s Dream through surveys which rate the elements (dancing, backdrops, and costumes) of the production. We will be asking for information on whether they feel the production was enhanced this year and for first-timers whether they felt the production enhanced their view of dance. Examples: Would they attend another production of Saint Paul Ballet? We will also see if the enhanced production advertising generates more free ticket requests from our accessibility partner Project Success (100 would be double the number from last year). The response of student and Company participants through post-production meetings and in-class discussions to the newly staged production and its impact on their dancing will be gathered. We will track the ticket buying history by date to see if there is an increase in the percentage of tickets sold prior to the week of the show as we advertise enhanced production values. This demonstrates increased interest and importance of Clara’s Dream as an arts offering for audiences.
33% increase in first-time attendees. A large majority thought the production value was very high and said they would return and seek out other Saint Paul Ballet offerings. Sold out one week early. Total 1520: 283 children 12 and under; 906 adults; 361 students and seniors. Overflow seating was added for walk up. All participants felt they were participating in an event of the highest artistic quality.
