95% of artist participants will say they have grown artistically and gained a better understanding of the relationship between dancing and social transformation. 65% of attendees will say they have learned something new about the cultural meaning of folk dance from Bulgaria, Greece, and Turkey. We will evaluate the success of this project through participant count, online surveys of those who attend the introductory workshop, verbal audience surveys, posters inviting audience feedback at the Gathering event, online surveys for artists and a final evaluation meeting with artists.
16 people attended the introductory workshop and over 150 people attended the community gathering and performance with Lyla June. 100% of artist participants in the Wisdom Dancers expressed that they grew in confidence in their artistic skills.
