Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To bring dance, opera, chamber music and choral music audiences in small town Minnesota together, and introduce them to novel ways in which these forms intersect. The project will be evaluated by measuring attendance and gathering feedback via pre and post show discussions and meaningful residency activities.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Multi-media, out-state audiences were exposed to innovations historical and current. The evaluation methods were: measuring audience numbers, engaging with audience and presenter feedback, and facilitating meaningful master class activities in dance, music and a combination of the two. 2: More out-state Minnesotans gain access to high quality arts opportunities. The evaluation methods were the same as above: measuring audience numbers, engaging with audience and presenter feedback, and facilitating meaningful master class activities in dance, music and a combination of the two.
