We are thrilled to report that the first-ever online edition of our New Works 4 Weeks 2021 Festival expanded and improved the artistic work and professional development of 42 artists, including 11 lead artists, plus their collaborators and those supporting the overall festival design/production; and it connected these artists with 832 audience members, who were able to access and engage with new performances created specifically for digital formats amidst COVID-19. We evaluated impact through conversations with and collecting written evaluations from artists; through conversations with and email surveys contributed by audiences; through observation and conversations among Red Eye?s Artistic Directors and Board; and through tracking attendance, box office records, and video/social media engagement around the festival.
