We accomplished our four Virtual Rough Cuts (RC), plus four other artistic projects. The four RC projects created an online community, including audience members new to us, and included 2 excerpts from MOONLIGHT WALK HOME; 3 short films created by high-school filmmakers from Film North, collaborating with professional Nautilus writers and composers; 2 excerpts from THE LIMIT OF THE SUN, a new opera dealing with international social justice and class struggle; and 4 excerpts from STATIONS OF THE HEART in-process. Evaluations included online audience talkback sessions (both live and in Zoom chat) and private conversations with artists. All four RC resulted in further development. YEAR OF WONDER was a developmental session for the artists; FEED THE DUCKS was offered online and on-site with Abiiton nursing home with an extensive staff/artist debriefing; SUMMER OF LOVE and STATIONS OF THE HEART were live performances (with COVID protocols), followed by written audience evaluations.
