Qualitative: Audiences from 7-county metropolitan Area will learn more about the culture of India through an ancient and expressive form of Asian Indian dance style Kathak and will experience a dance drama, The Hungry Stones, the story of which was written by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore. Quantitative: We are expecting 700 audience members in 3 shows, we will conduct surveys to know the demographics of the audience, as well as the power of this work, moved and transform them artistically. KDT's Artistic Director, Executive Director, and Board of Directors will use information provided through post-show discussions, critical reviews and audience surveys to evaluate and measure the effectiveness of its performances in delivering a high-quality, thought-provoking production. The Artistic Director will also review the quality of the process and artistic success of ôThe Hungry Stonesö with the artists involved ű dancers, designers and technicians. KDT will also consider box office statistics as an indicator of success in reaching its intended audience.
12 artists performed in The Hungry Stones (95% of whom are people of color) and in one weekend, 486 people attended the shows. Audience surveys showed that 51% of respondents were experiencing this art form for the first time.
