Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Measurable outcomes would be an increase in attendance to workshop classes as well as the performance. Our goal is at least twenty students in each workshop class as well as an increase of 50 audience members for the Saturday evening performance. Measurable financial success of the Fakoly Drum and Dance Project would consider an increase in the number of workshop attendees and performance audience members to help provide greater financial stability to the project. A second measure of success is to develop and nurture the small, but existing community of students and appreciators of the African Diasporic arts in the Twin Cities. This will be measured by increased attendance following the project at ongoing classes provided by local artists.
