Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Artist will elevate in skills to tell their stories through art. Audience surveys will show that 100% of the respondents witnessed art as a healing tool. Audience surveys will show that 75% of the respondents will practice self-care tools. We will measure artist skill elevation through post-show evaluations. We will measure audience/ participant outcome through count.

Measurable Outcome(s)

12 artists created, wrote down, and shared out personal narratives focused on a past trauma and a current healing process. Evaluations revealed that our team enhanced their skills as playwrights and actors as well. 100 % of the audience participated in the mind-body activities. Post-show surveys were handed out after every show. 100% of the responses were positive.
