Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Residents learn new arts skills and techniques; residents gain awareness and appreciation for artistic disciplines and mediums; artists build their capacity through professional development. Interviews/Conversations with participants ; Interviews/Conversations with board/staff/leaders ; Community dialogue (group conversations with a large group) ; Reviewing recorded information or documentation (such as finances, attendance records, work plans)

Measurable Outcome(s)

Evaluation was done mainly with conversations with participants and reviewing documentation. Despite the majority of our work being done only 2 or 3 artists at a time (director, actor, assistant) most of our actors expressed joy at being able to work again (early fall 2021) and that even though they were not working directly with their scene partners, there was still a sense of camaraderie; a few were able to discuss the project with their co-actors who they knew before or met concurrently to the project. At least one pair who had not met before the project were able to chat about their characters together, and were grateful for the connection. The strange format of shooting without your scene partner was difficult for many, but most (not all) said that they were happy for the safety measures and that it was worth the ability to make art again.
