Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

"Radical Community Care—Body, Dance, and Action" will create 8 workshops (several of which will have multiple sessions) that bring together art, healing, and activism. We will expand our reach to two new communities: residents of Frogtown/Rondo, and senior residents at Episcopal Church Home. Surveys will be given to all workshop participants, as well as all Organizing Team members at the end of the season. The Organizing Team will reflect on the feedback and make new recommendations for future development.

Measurable Outcome(s)

In 2019 we offered eight workshops advancing community knowledge and practice of embodied liberation, and serving a diverse array of communities and partners. We clarified our mission/vision, pointing us towards a 2020 season highlighting DYFIT's commitment to ending racism, building solidarity through co-learning, and finding belonging in our own body and soul as an antidote to oppression.
