Arts Activities Support

We intend that 3 selected early/mid-career mentees partner rigorously with established artists in the conception and devising of THE RED SHOES; We also intend that the successful execution of this project establishes a creative and institutional infrastructure on which to scaffold future projects. We also want to understand the backgrounds and interests of the audience who participates in sharing this hybrid work. We will evaluate the success of the mentee partnership through exit interviews and survey among the participants to affirm what worked and was of value, and where to improve/adjust for subsequent projects. We'll evaluate the success of establishing a creative and institutional infrastructure by producing a series of production tools that can be deployed on subsequent projects: a production calendar/process punch-list, a boilerplate marketing plan, and high-quality archival documentation of the project in still photography and video. We will achieve clearer insight and understanding of our audience by conducting 3 moderated post-show talkbacks, and conducting an audience survey.
