Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will directly engage 15 artists and approximately 400 audience members with this production, and inspire them to continue the conversation about climate change beyond the performance. 85% of audience members and artists report a better understanding of the implications of climate change and commit to having conversations about climate change realities and solutions with their families and friends. Audience members and collaborating artists are invited to fill out online post-performance surveys including demographic data and critical/creative questions about the work. Beyond formal surveys, we invite conversations to continue beyond the performance venue by encouraging social media engagement, lobby discussions, and informal gatherings at local establishments.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We were not able to achieve our outcomes due to COVID-19.; By converting these funds to general operating funds, we were able to sustain operations throughout the pandemic, hold online artistic gatherings and informal impromptu relationship building moments, and pay artists for their time. We were also able to begin a strategic planning process to assess the future of the organization. The flexibility of these funds was vital to our ability to stay connected with each other and to our artistic roots during these challenging times for the industry.
