In this project, we addressed Arts Access Outcomes: #1 by sharing the show for free, both in a livestream online (rewatch anytime) and inperson, in East St. Paul, an historically Black neighborhood (walkability score 84); #2 by educating audiences about the honest racial experiences of mixed race, Black, white and Hispanic women. #3 by demonstrating interracial artistic collaboration, and partnering with local arts orgs. #4 by the artists restaging this work, and including new collaborators; #5 by partnering with multiple arts orgs, and artists involved are now collaborating in other contexts. Evaluation included: Observations throughout; Community Dialogue in October 2021, in which we reviewed the original performance and shared new ideas with a group of select community members, with verbal and written feedback; interviews/conversations with participants/board/staff and leaders ultimately informed the direction of the piece, the order of the performance, the framing of our stories.
