Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Provocative productions and community-based projects bring together artists, MN residents, businesses, and civic partners to inspire social change. We will survey participants to see what they learned from a production or creative process, track story circle and event discussions, & post-play Q&A sessions. A partner list will be kept. 2: Mixed Blood programs engage Minnesotans of all ages, races, ethnicities, identities, locations, and abilities in co-creating and experiencing theatre. Mixed Blood surveys all participants to gather racial, ethnic, identity, ability, and location data. We will report on in-depth engagement with Iron Range, Warroad, and Twin Cities communities.
