ACHF Arts Access
Continued artistic activity in ARTIST DEVELOPMENT, ROUGH CUTS, and PRODUCTIONS as demonstrated by numerical metrics. Measurable: In FY 2018, we will offer one Composer-Librettist Studio, hold a summer training Institute, present at least seven ROUGH CUTS programs, and create at least one new fully-staged production. 2: We will continue creating our materials archive and initiate our Nautilus Genome Project, the outcome of which will be self-evident. Measurable: In FY 2018, we will work with three consultants to launch our long-term impact, in preparation for developing a succession plan so that our work can continue beyond current leadership.
We held the CL Studio and Institute as planned, along with the Rough Cuts. We postponed our production to next year. We use pre- and post-activity surveys for our Composer-Librettist Studio; written evaluations for our Institute; and post-show talkbacks for Rough Cuts. 2: We are close to completed with steps 1, 2, and three of the Genome Project; further along than anticipated. As noted, the outcome was self-evident; that is, we did what we said we would.
