Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to achieve the following: At least 2000 people attended one of the six presentations given by the performing artists. The audience showed through a post-presentation survey that their knowledge of both global traditional folkloric dance forms and the local persons who perform them have increased by 90% We will evaluate by doing an audience/participation count at each performance. We also will seek post-performance feedback from the organizations which host the performance as well as seek input from the audience through both written and informal surveys.
