Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

400 audience members will attend the performance of 5 new dance works danced by 13 company members and includes collaborations with 4 additional artists. 30% of audience members will participate in/respond to one of the offered audience engagement activities (survey, post-performance discussion, rehearsal video blog), 50% of survey respondents will feel connected to the dance works performed. Alternative Motion Project will evaluate this project through the number of audience members, the percentage of audience members involved in at least one engagement activity, audience feedback surveys, post-performance feedback/discussion, review of show and rehearsal videos, feedback interviews with artists. These results will be shared and analyzed by Alternative Motion Project's board for a final evaluation.

Measurable Outcome(s)

331 people attended a dance performance that featured 20 different artists from 3 different art forms; Audience Surveys showed 62% of the audience sees 0-3 dance performances per year, showing a need for Alternative Motion Project to cater to those that don't regularly see dance; Alternative Motion Project Rehearsal Vlogs got a total of 467 views showing a need for more consistent opportunities for audiences to connect to the process.
