We will evaluate Eclectic Edge Ensemble's Lost Voices in Jazz Dance as a success if we are able to have 450 patrons attend with 200 repeat attendees to future Eclectic Edge Ensemble productions. We hope that we will be able to collect at least 150 demographic surveys from our audiences over the three productions. For the Eclectic Edge Ensemble company members we aim to create an opportunity for them to not only learn more about these amazing artists, but work with past Minnesota Jazz Dance Company members, see, hear and experience history on Minnesota Jazz Dance and have an opportunity to perform material that was choreographed by these artists that will enhance all of Eclectic Edge Ensemble’s future works.Eclectic Edge Ensemble will be evaluating Lost Voices in Jazz, in the following ways: our patron numbers at each performance; number of demographic surveys we receive back, including comments on surveys; post-performance talk back, and feedback; final meeting and surveys with Eclectic Edge Ensemble dancers, designers and guest artists to discuss how everything went; post-mortem meeting with Eclectic Edge Ensemble Board of Directors and Eclectic Edge Ensemble Advisory Board.
711 patrons attended Lost Voices. There were over 50 people who attended the Minnesota Jazz Dance Company reunion before the Saturday evening's performance! Demographic surveys showed 72% had never attended an Eclectic Edge Ensemble performance before! Female audience members made up 59% while 41% were male. In terms of ethnicity 18% identified themselves as being African American, 7% Asian American, 6% Hispanic/Latino and 69% Caucasian.
