ACHF Arts Access
Participants will development social skills through high quality arts experiences specifically dramatic arts, act in a live performance that highlights the unique perspective of, and perceptions of, individuals with developmental disabilities, and break down disability barriers while fostering relationships for future artistic expression. Valley Friendship Club will evaluate the success of this project in the following ways: ? Program filled to at least 80% capacity; ? Growth in membership and volunteer leadership; ? Audience attendance that is 50% capacity of the venue; ? Participant evaluation though a brief survey asking if/how their isolation has been reduced, friendships developed, has this opportunity changed their life in terms of social interaction and community inclusion. We will also gather this information from parents/guardians and volunteers.
The capacity of the physical venue was 50 people. Because we implemented the viewing of the project on Facebook Live, awareness of this program and the arts among people with disabilities was viewed by over 100 people. Additionally, 100% of participants in the "Silent Film Project" indicated they would like to take part in theater camp again in 2021.
