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. Interviews/Conversations with participants ; Interviews/Conversations with board/staff/leaders ; Reviewing recorded information or documentation (such as finances, attendance records, work plans) ; Observation ; Surveying (paper or online)

Measurable Outcome(s)

TCB conducted online audience surveys after our performances of Dracula and A Minnesota Nutcracker, and held numerous conversations with participants, board, and staff to reflect on each performance. Overall, our performances were successful, based on the positive audience feedback (especially for our educational outreach and family-oriented performances), audience numbers, and financial outcomes. However, we had to cancel one of our Dance with Me workshops due to low signups, and Cowles Center cancelled their Fall Festival so we were not able to complete all of our proposed activities. Our other mainstage performances, Dracula and A Minnesota Nutcracker, and other educational outreach activities took place as scheduled.
