Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

This project will provide rehearsal space, technical support and critical feedback to nine new performance works as they are being developed, culminating in 3-4 public performances for each piece, playing to an estimated total festival audience of 700. Using facilitated protocols, each of the participating artists will receive feedback from his/her peers and conversely will provide feedback to the other participating artists. Evaluation methods for this project include final reports from artist participants, final debriefing meeting with artist participants, written public comments and/or reviews on social media, and audience/participant count.

Measurable Outcome(s)

A total of nine new performance works involving 39 artists were created over the course of six months and presented for a total of 15 performances that were attended by 578 people. The primary artists were introduced to and practiced structured critical response conversations throughout the process of making their works.
