ACHF Arts Access
This project will serve more than 18 local artists (14 singers/dancers/musicians, photographer, videographer, and BareBones artists) and approximately 1,000 audience members. The project will illuminate issues of climate change and inspire empathy for displaced people and refugees, provide rewarding artistic experiences and growth for our group, and produce a piece and audience experiences of the highest artistic quality. Testimonials: We will have conversations with performers, BareBones artists, and Northern Spark staff, and request feedback from audiences via the Facebook event page and deDanza email list, to get their insights. Photo and Video Documentation: We will use these to help confirm estimates of audience numbers, to assess audience reaction and experiences, and to evaluate artistic quality and identify artistic/performance goals for future performances.
