Master Class Description:
What really happens when the lights go down and the curtain rises? Most arts groups do a great job of tracking attendance and revenues, but these are poor indicators of impact. Aside from the buzz in the lobby, is it possible to define – and even measure – how audiences are transformed? If you had this information, what would you do with it? Alan Brown will summarize results from a series of studies over the past six years, tracing the theoretical foundations of intrinsic impact, and illustrating how arts groups in the US and abroad are using impact assessment to improve programs and measure audience engagement
