Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

600 people will attend "What the Moon Sees" to experience the best of contemporary and traditional flamenco. Audience surveys will indicate that 90% of respondents found that flamenco dance effectively communicated perspectives of the homeless through CASITA. We will use attendance records for "What the Moon Sees" to determine total audience size and past records to determine increases or decreases. Audience surveys will be used to determine qualitative responses from audience members regarding their performance experience.

Measurable Outcome(s)

583-people paid admission for the performance and 39 people attended free of charge as part of our "Pay What You Can" (PWYC). 9% of the audience had never attended a Zorongo performance, which was driven by PWYC, and 48% had seen six or more performances. 98% of survey respondents said they would attend another concert, and 13% said they would like to participate in a flamenco class.
