Please explain the <br />impact of your <br />organization on the <br />Orange County <br />community in a <br />typical year. <br />In a typical year, myself and W ild Actions would perform fiv e or more <br />times in Orange County v enues, including Cat’s Cradle, The Cav e, <br />Nightlight Bar & Club, Sav age W eekend music festiv al, and the <br />Carrboro Music Fest. W e would also hold meetings, discussions, <br />rehearsals, and artist salons. <br />An estimated 150-200 audience members and 50 artists - coming <br />from Orange, Durham, Alamance, and Chatham - respectiv ely, would <br />hav e attended liv e performances and attended in-process <br />gatherings. In prev ious years we hav e also facilitated Orange County <br />performances of international and v isiting artists such as the French <br />dance company Marie L’Enfant, who took part in a series created by <br />Saxapahaw-based Culture Mill. <br />The Dig In artist salon is an ongoing series W ild Actions helped <br />found in 2019 and continues to co-organize. Between January 2019- <br />March 2020, the salon met a total of six times, with four of those <br />discussions happening in Orange County. Approximately 50 artists <br />total attended these gatherings to discuss our current state of the <br />arts including av ailable and dwindling resources, social and political <br />obstacles, performance and exhibition opportunities, current and <br />future projects, strategies for funding, as well national trends for art <br />and art-making. <br />In 2020, W ild Actions had planned two in-process <br />performances/critical feedback sessions where a total of <br />approximately 75 artists, colleagues, and the general public could <br />experience a performance and then share feedback, questions, <br />impressions, and social and political impacts of the work. Currently, <br />these ev ents are being rescheduled, and will happen ov er the next 4 <br />months, but with more ev ents that hav e a much smaller capacity <br />each. <br />Not only does W ild Actions create programming, but we also support <br />other performers, performances, and ev ents - as a group we would <br />hav e attended and financially supported ov er 30 ev ents just in <br />Orange County. <br />COVID-19 IMPACT <br />DATA <br />This data is for the OCAC's informational purposes only and may or <br />may not be applicable to your organization depending on your <br />structure. <br />Number of Staff <br />Eliminated March 15 <br />- October 15 <br />5 PT <br />Number of Staff <br />Positions <br />Furloughed/Hours <br />Reduced March 15 - <br />October 15 <br />0 <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 792BBCF2-26E5-4B37-9F12-352147C0A360
