Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our goal is to develop a high quality production creating space for conversation about themes of cross-cultural connections and miscommunication during which audiences describe feeling interested in and challenged by the material. We are hoping to reach between 700 and 900 audience members. Our second goal is to provide an artistic experience in which all artists involved are integral and invested and that all artists describe their experience as positive, rigorous, and artistically fulfilling. Completing a production in the black, as we have historically, is also a marker of success for us. Audience members are invited to fill out surveys including demographic data and questions about the work. Theatre Novi Most also actively engages audience members through formal and informal conversations about the work. It is our goal that in post-performance evaluation surveys and informal conversations, audience members describe their experience of Dancing on the Edge as positive and engage in nuanced and meaningful conversations about the themes of the work. We plan to reach between 700 and 900 audience members.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Through audience surveys, talk backs and informal conversations we found that 95% of audiences experienced Dancing on the Edge as a high quality production that created a space for conversation about themes of cross-cultural connections and miscommunication, we finished production in the black and our actors, designers and creative team report being artistically satisfied and felt respected.
