Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Quantitive: three choreographers (and RS Artistic Director) are selected and produced, 500 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 advisory panel.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Quantitative goals of artists to work with were met. Due to Covid restrictions, we did not meet our original goal of 500 people attend our production, are happy with the number we ended up with - 200. As for qualitative outcomes, the great majority of our survey respondents indicated 8 to 10 out of 10 satisfaction with the programming and offered positive comments.
