Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Create and premiere two new collaborative works that convey Kathak dance and cross-cultural interpretation to 1,800 attendees in the Twin Cities. Works will be measured by the number of productions and collaborative partners. Ticket sales and attendance records will document audiences. Surveys will measure audience satisfaction. 2: Engage Minnesotans of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities at shows and in KDT’s school and community partnerships. Ages, ethnicities, and abilities measured through audience surveys; registration at KDT School and Summer Intensive programs; and surveys from outreach programs.

Measurable Outcome(s)

KDT strongly support a mission to make Kathak dance accessible with performances, educational/outreach programs that forward the art's boundaries while establishing a diverse community. The Strategies we use are post-performance discussions, workshops evaluation forms, participant interview, responses from community leaders, and reflection and evaluation from presenting partners to track outcomes and reactions.
