Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

HIJACK will achieve respectful and complete communication in all aspects of the project, including: fine-tuning call for proposals, prompt communication with all proposing artists, clear needs expressed to and from new venue, broadened communication of opportunity compared to pilot program (2015-2017). FUTURE INTERSTATES will include the diversity of the dance improvisation field in terms of artists' formal approaches, artistic backgrounds, race, age, experience, etc. HIJACK will request feedback from our Advisory Committee at least three times during the project period. HIJACK will have conversations with artists and audiences post shows to get informal, honest feedback about all aspects of the project.

Measurable Outcome(s)

For the 2019 Future Interstates series, HIJACK received 57 proposals/inquiries. sixteen artists/groups comprised of 32 artists performed. Audiences were at/above capacity (about 70 per evening). Our budget and plan matched the project's actualization quite closely. We were meticulous with communication. We reached out beyond our immediate community and sought help from our Advisory Committee.
