Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

A reduction in geographic, cultural and/or physical barriers to arts participation; a change in knowledge, attitude, behavior or condition due to arts events; arts groups' are strengthened by connecting to their communities through the arts; artists expand and improve their work and the way in which they create it; artists connect to new audiences, building relationships that provide artistic growth. Community dialogue (group conversations with a large group)

Measurable Outcome(s)

Actual outcomes were the development of new plays by Siddeeqah Shabazz, Ashawnti Sakina Ford, and Nora Montanez and sharing those plays with communities through public "staged" zoom readings. Our evaluation process was community dialogue following each performance - over 90% of our audiences stayed to discuss the plays and they shared being deeply moved and inspired by the stories - and in particular sharing how healing it felt to participate as an audience member, even though they were watching by zoom
