Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Quantitative: seven choreographers are selected and produced, 400 people attend our production. Qualitative: 80% + of audiences note the quality of the show as eight or higher on a ten point scale on our surveys, and written survey notes indicate positive experiences had by choreographers, performers and all other personnel. Evaluation methods will include audience and personnel surveys, distributed both in print at the production and digitally afterward, as well as a post-mortem meeting by the board.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our goals for quantitative outcomes were met, with 8 choreographers supported (goal: 7), and with about 500 people attending (goal: 400). Goals for our qualitative outcomes were also met, with 90% of audiences noting the quality of the show as 8 or higher on a 10 point scale on our surveys (goal of 80%+), and those involved with the show overwhelmingly indicating having positive experiences.
