Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

95% of program participants (company members and the public) will increase their skill level and knowledge of the flamenco art form. In relation, 98% of our ten new apprentices will experience new techniques beyond what they can learn from Artistic Director Susana di Palma to help their artistry flourish. Outcomes will be evaluated through post performance interviews with guest artists, apprentices and company members, by attendance count, and by observation of classes and performances by Artistic Director Susana di Palma. These results will then be cataloged and recorded by our Arts Administrator to be used as reference material for future residency programming.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Zorongo's apprentices, company members, and the broader flamenco community learned new flamenco techniques and choreography from highly established flamenco masters.
