ACHF Cultural Heritage
This full-length production will be successful and reach its culmination when more than 2,000 people from St Paul and Minneapolis attend performances on the St Paul campus of Saint Catherine University, an institution that primarily serves women and where women of color comprise 32% of the student body. This proximity will also engage faculty and students both on-and-off campus through workshops and classes. Audience surveys will show that a majority of respondents attended an Ananya Dance Theatre performance for the first time and came away with a greater understanding about abstract movement narratives. Ananya Dance Theatre will coordinate evaluation with The O’Shaughnessy, and will employ anecdotal feedback from participants at story-sharing conversations, rehearsals, workshops, and performances, and will use written and online surveys of performance audiences and box office records.
1,290 people attended performances, workshops, and classes created and presented by 24 artists. Audiences provided immediate and sustained full-house standing ovations at the conclusion of two performances and a dress rehearsal.
