Arts Project Support

Create a powerful dance/theater work on the issue of bullying that engages a significant number of attendees from the Twin Cities metro area. Move audience members intellectually and emotionally, and help them identify ways that they can personally participate in minimizing the bullying that we accept in our society. We will evaluate the success of the identified outcomes both quantitatively and qualitatively. Chvala will take charge of evaluating the artistic process and product, success in meeting promotion and audience goals, and financial success. Measures will include: Critical reviews, review of archival performance video, and audience response at performances and in feedback in the lobby and through e-mail and social media; Interviews with participating artists throughout the project; the level of pre-production publicity and earned media; Box office and financial records. To measure the outcome around audience impact, we will: Utilize individual audience surveys provided in the BULLY WORLD programs; track feedback from audience members at the facilitate discussions following performances; document post-performance feedback received on the collaborators’ websites and thru social media.
