Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Audiences in the Twin Cities and throughout Minnesota will experience original new work created by SPDT through community projects with diverse populations. This outcome will be evaluated through numbers of performances, sizes of audiences (both real and virtual), and responses from audiences, which will be assessed through SPDT's audience-performer dialogues, audience surveys, and presenter feedback. 2: A broad range of Minnesotans will be impacted through SPDT's Community Inclusive, Arts and Health, and Arts and Education projects. Impacts will be measured using in-person, hard copy, and electronic feedback from community activity participants as well as responses from the company's presenter partners. SPDT will utilize these evaluations in planning future activities.

Measurable Outcome(s)

SPDT focused this season on movement workshops for communities such as families and senior adults. Minnesota audiences were assessed through participant responses as well as presenter feedback. 2: SPDT engaged Minnesota communities in Hennepin and Ramsey Counties in arts activities at their locations. SPDT used participant feedback and responses from presenter partners to measure activity impacts. `Our senior residents, many between the ages of 90-101, were enlivened by your Life Stories workshops. Thank you.` --Arts Director, Carondolet Village
