Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants feel that they have learned the basics of the particular style they are learning. 70% of participants express a desire to create puppet theater after training and/or express desire to be involved in work by other puppeteers/puppet theaters. We will have quantitative and qualitative methods. We will have surveys and also interview participants and teaching artists, and for workshops that last more than one day, check-ins will help us change things in the moment if something is not working well.

Measurable Outcome(s)

100% of Intensive participants are interested in continuing in puppetry, even though all of them won't be able to continue immediately on to New Puppetworks. Everyone grasped basics styles that were offered. In addition to surveys, we were able to see them finish the crankie, walk on stilts, manipulate the puppets, connect with each other at the Open Studio Sessions, etc.
