Are you hiring <br />multicultural artists <br />with the requested <br />funds from this <br />grant? <br />Yes <br />For each multicultural <br />artist you intend to <br />hire, please list their <br />name, race, and how <br />much you plan to pay <br />them. <br />The Beast: Black, $1,500 <br />Curious Theatre Collective: All-women group including women of color, <br />$1,875 <br />The Brevan Hampden Group: Hispanic, $1,600 <br />Vault Theatre: All-women group including women of color, $1,000 <br />How will the <br />project/program be <br />publicized and <br />promoted to reach <br />intended <br />participants? <br />Estes Hills parents and students will be contacted with dates and <br />performance descriptions via a hard copy flyer at the beginning of the <br />school year and again at the beginning of the spring semester, and will be <br />reminded of the performances in periodic electronic newsletters from the <br />school. <br />How will you <br />evaluate the success <br />of the program? <br />W e are again working with the Durham Arts Council which was excellent in <br />directing us to high-quality programming. To evaluate the program, the PTA <br />will collect verbal feedback from teachers and school administrators, and <br />from students through parents and teachers, as we have traditionally done. <br />Additionally, after the 2022-23 performances concluded, we distributed an <br />online survey to teachers and staff to collect more formal feedback. This <br />was our first survey and number of responses was low (12) but generous <br />and helpful in the feedback provided. <br />Two shows (Bright Star Theatre and Diali Cisshoko) received a 4 or 5 out <br />of 5 in terms of quality. Two shows (Donna W ashington and Takiri Folclor) <br />received one 3, and otherwise 4 or 5 out of 5. Feedback included: <br />• “They talked about each performance days after it.” <br />• “Each performance represented our school culture.” <br />• “The kids had a great time at all the events.” <br />• “The performers were very knowledgeable of what they were explaining to <br />kids.” <br />• “Real time- not a video, local, and a focus on culture.” <br />• “Student involvement, humor.” <br />• “They have an interactive aspect in which students are also involved.” <br />• “Keep them coming. They are great exposure to the arts for our students.” <br />The only comments for improvement involved breaking down the group <br />sizes and having 3 shows instead of 2, but that would mean increasing <br />costs by 50%. <br />PROJECT/PROGRAM <br />BUDGET <br />Please fill out the charts below with your project's expenses and income. <br />Use the "Explanation" box to offer details for each category.
