Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
We anticipate to hold 2 multi-session workshops taught by Kurt Hunter and Michael Sommers. Our evaluation methods include a survey of participants, plus the number of participants that attend the class. We will also take attendance to track if students drop, and if they do, contact them to find out the reason.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Participants learned basic theatrical puppetry making and performance skills, and the niche puppetry community was supported and strengthened with new participants.
