Goal No.1 - Create a community of composer/performers and choreographer/dancers that support each other to make work that blurs the lines between movement and sound. Indicators of success: 1. Creation of three new 20 minute works that seamlessly weave together movement and sound, so as to redefine each genre. 2. Written documentation of the process and dialogue that focuses on the overlap of music and movement during community rehearsals and public. This documentation strives to capture something different from a normal rehearsal process; it is intended to document our firm intention of exploring the unique process of music and movement being generated simultaneously. Goal No.2 - Connecting and engaging music and dance community audiences through open rehearsals and the Hear Here 2017! public showing. Indicator of success: 1. Audience attendance (175) at the Hear Here 2017! public showing at The Cedar in August 2017. Goal No.1 will be evaluated through an artist survey and post-performance feedback. Goal No.2 will be evaluated through an audience count.
A significant outcome is the development of artistic collaboration amongst artists. The Artist Feedback Survey showed 100% of commissioned artists felt that the festival supported their artistic process. Another significant outcome is the cross-pollination of dancers, musicians, choreographers, composers, dance audience and music audience. It was exciting to see new faces in new spaces.
