Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Provide significant opportunities for artists from diverse backgrounds to create new work and present it to the larger community. Determine awareness and consciousness in the larger Twin Cities community of issues and realities of immigrant and diverse communities based on requests for interviews, press and publicity for Pangea World Theater's programming. 2: Cultivate the cultural vitality of local immigrant communities through artistic and community based programming. Keep records of the ethnic make-up of our audience garnered through surveys. The demographic information about our audiences will help us improve methods for publicizing our activities to diverse communities.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Pangea provided significant opportunities for artists from diverse backgrounds to create new work and present it to the community. Pangea presented an Indigenous Voices series, worked with the Philippino, Latino/a and Somali communities and produced three plays with diverse casts. We also developed new audiences through our Lake Street Arts Program. 2: Pangea cultivated the cultural vitality of local immigrant communities through artistic and community based programming. Based on attendance at our performances, our Indigenous Voices series, our community based Lake Street Arts program, our Q and A series, comments and number of surveys returned and attendance of post play discussions (85%).
