Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The main goals I have for this grant are to build the visibility of dance as an art form in Winona and to provide opportunities to community members to participate in the project and view the completed project during public showings and discussions. In order to measure outcomes I plan to track attendance at the three film showings in June 2018, have surveys on site, and to film the discussion portion of these showings.

Measurable Outcome(s)

My goal of growing as an artist and dance filmmaker as well as my goal to increase the accessibility and dissemination of dance in the Winona community were met through the process of creating and editing the film, and through the presentation of it.
