Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To broaden our audience network and numbers (goal is 800) by creating a new work, specifically for women over 40, and offering Moving with Intention workshop for this community. Our audience surveys show that 75% of our audience are re-occurring participants and find our particular mix of movement and media creations both challenging and inspiring! Time Track receives feedback through audience surveys, peer reviews, and after-show dialog(s). Dancers are administered a questionnaire about their experience and any feedback they might provide. Time Track artistic directors also provide artistic feedback. The company will offer an online survey as well, more convenient for some audience members and it offers a further opportunity to engage the audience on Time Track’s website, Social Media, and email blasts.

Measurable Outcome(s)

It was extremely fulfilling to reach a new audience who could really relate to the work itself. And we could feel that connection while performing. Through our workshops 98 % of participants were able to experience movement (and some actual vocabulary from INVISIBLE) and were able to express themselves creatively. 500 people attended performances of Time Track's INVISIBLE
