This new SPDT project is designed to engage economically challenged senior adults, at two residential facilities, who have little to no access to arts programming. Based on the company’s analysis of previous programs with seniors, we project all of the participating senior adults (100%) will experience a new way to creatively express their life stories through movement. SPDT’s proposed new project will be evaluated using the company’s detailed Evaluation Matrix, which it implements to assess the success of all community programs. For this project, evaluation will include: Workshop evaluation forms for participants and staff. Electronic responses through SPDT’s website, Facebook, and Survey Monkey. Select participant interviews. SPDT’s Talk Piece audience-performer discussions following the Final Showings. Feedback from Project Partners’ staff. Debriefing sessions for SPDT artists.
