Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Audiences will be 1,200 in two days’ shows; 100 dancers and 6 artists will attend this project. Diversity audiences will be reached and collect the comments from them. We will conduct the Interview with audiences, send survey sheets to all dancers and artists; we will count the ticket sales and estimate the racial percentage of the audiences.
Measurable Outcome(s)
1,100 people came and watched our shows. More black and Mexican people attended our events, including Caucasians, other race people were 50% more of the total audience. This has been a trend for three years in row as well as an indicator of more Minnesotans join the diversity culture, learn from others in artistic manner.
