Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

A reduction in geographic, cultural and/or physical barriers to arts participation; A change in knowledge, attitude, behavior or condition due to public art, arts festivals or arts events; Artists expand and improve their work and the way in which they create it. Artists/arts groups are strengthened by connecting to their communities through the arts; Artists connect to new audiences, building relationships that provide artistic growth. Community dialogue (group conversations with a large group)

Measurable Outcome(s)

I worked with non-Indian dancers on the 'Sacred Axis' methodology, documented the process, with a public demonstration. This experience served as a stepping stone to choreograph on other companies and dancers who do not come from an Indian dance backgroun
