Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
James Sewell Ballet's mainstage performances, state touring/residencies, and education/outreach activities are designed to reach residents throughout the state. Through audience validation of JSB's creative works, visiting new/existing Minnesota communities, building deeper community relationships, and engaging a broad age demographic in our activities.
Measurable Outcome(s)
JSB had Minneapolis and Saint Paul Mainstage seasons at two venues, toured to Greater Minnesota, and engaged people as audiences and collaborators. Twin Cities' audiences and mentored student dancers all provided direct feedback for their specific interactions with JSB while key presenter partners debriefed on results and ideas for future programming.
