Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

In addition to our regular programming, we will offer at least one fully-staged production, and ideally two. Regular programming will be evaluated as previously identified. The full production will be evaluated by the artists involved, as well as audience written responses. This will be the first production to use criteria established by the Genome Project. 2: Analysis of material acquired through the Nautilus Genome Project will be completed. Status of the Genome Project will be measured through the internal publication of (1) unique characteristics and (2) long-term impact of Nautilus' work on both the local and national performing arts community.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Because of the Covid pandemic, we had to postpone our FY21 productuion to FY22. We noticed that we weren't doing any productions. 2: We completed our first analysis of the Genome project, operating through Zoom calls and email discussions. Although we didn't get as far as we would have liked because of the lack of in-person meetings for our advisory task force, we succeeded in getting a good start, completing our first analysis We look forward to continuing the process in FY22.
