Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Kulture Klub Collaborative will develop a new community-based style of dance education that is welcoming to new youth. Kulture Klub Collaborative will work with Youth Advisory Council members to assess qualitative success.

Kulture Klub Collaborative has a good track record addressing real barriers such as transportation and child care. Kulture Klub Collaborative will evaluate the perceived barriers - specifically around trauma that is held within the body and anxiety around dancing - through evaluation discussions during dinners and consulting with Licensed Clinical Social Worker Sue Pohl.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Choreographer and dancer Kenna Cottman created a replicable model of an experiential arts learning residency that incorporates cooking with dance. 2: The residency with Kenna Cottman increased access to high quality arts learning opportunities for youth experiencing homelessness.
