| Part III, line 4a (continued) | In addition, Audiences Unlimited provided free tickets for 387 audience members to attend 38 cultural venues and community performances. Individuals at our partnering care facilities who are mobile or can be transported in a wheelchair attended these programs. In response to the Covid pandemic, Audiences Unlimited provided digital video programming from March through June reaching an unquantifiable number of audience members. Audiences Unlimiteds (AUI) mission is to create cultural experiences that enrich the lives of people with limited access to the arts. AUIs programming enriches the quality of life of residents in health/residential care facilities, adult day care centers, and one hospital, and for adults with cognitive and developmental disabilities by providing cultural resources and programs that refresh and inspire the mind, body, and spirit. Audiences Unlimited, Inc. serves two groups of people in the community. The first group is comprised of people who live in long-term care and residential facilities due to aging or critical illness. When a person lives at a facility, they face challenges and loss of independence that prevent them from being integrated in the fabric of the community. They have limited access to events that are presented in our community, such as performances and cultural activities. The need is great for these members of our community to have experiences that improve their quality of life and bring them joy and happiness. The second group is comprised of adults of all ages with developmental disabilities who attend L.I.F.E. Adult Day Academy. These individuals may struggle to make meaningful social connections or face limited opportunities to arts experiences due to behaviors or caretaking situations. Approximately 40% of these individuals live in group homes and have very limited access to music. First, AUI serves as a catalyst uniting local artists and entertainers with the needs of long-term care facilities offering a variety of choices, such as small Philharmonic ensembles, dance groups, choral groups, bands, and soloists as well as other styles of entertainment. In the 2019-2020 fiscal year from July through early March, AUI had 36 ongoing partner facilities that received between six to fifteen In-Facility or Room-to-Room programs per month. The organization also served an additional 13 facilities throughout northeast Indiana with two to four performances throughout the year. During fiscal year 2020, 65,143 audience members participated in these two related programs during the 1948 live performances. The In-Facility program offered residents the opportunity to experience arts performances and to be recognized on birthdays, holidays, and other special occasions. These programs encouraged interaction and participation through singing along, dancing (including wheelchair dancing) and clapping. Individuals who lack mobility would smile, tap, and sway to the music. Residents often requested their favorite songs and had the opportunity to play small musical instruments such as tambourines and maracas. This interaction between the artists, other residents and staff energized residents and forged a stronger sense of community among them. The Room-to-Room program provided long-term care facilities with a pool of qualified musicians who perform and visit from room-to-room. Bedfast residents often experience prolonged periods of isolation from the activities and with their peers. Their confinement results in a greater sense of helplessness and increased loneliness. This program lifts the hearts and spirits of these individuals. AUIs In-Community Events program offered free admissions to 38 cultural events and activities in our community. Tickets were obtained from our arts and cultural organization partners at no cost to distribute to facilities for their residents. AUI served 688 audience members that were mobile or wheelchair-bound. Second, the My Expressions Program at L.I.F.E. Adult Day Academy (ME Program) serves L.A.D.A.'s clients, adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities through regular arts participation experiences. The ME Program provides individuals with disabilities group opportunities for structured, shared, and personal social experiences while offering an outlet for appropriate self-expression. Music is a multi-sensory experience that motivates these individuals and helps them bond. Music is easily adapted to a person's abilities. The ME Program ran onsite at L.A.D.A. for 49 weeks. Music was offered twice a day for two days of the week, totaling 96 programs for 75 students. Students engaged in the performance through instrument or scarf/ribbon play, use of fine motor skills, and moving with a wide variety of motions. The ME program offered an adaptive Narrative Theatre Program (NTP) with 80 L.A.D.A. students participating in a fully realized production of A Christmas Carol. The script was adapted specifically for students diverse abilities with the theme of Find your kindness. Change your fate. This traditional theatrical delivery of the holiday classic created a familiar setting in which the public-at-large and the students are able to engage on common ground as story-teller and audience forming a better understand between the two communities. Through the NTP, 22 rehearsals and 2 performances offered the 80 students to experience theatre production, set and prop creation and painting, and the use of costumes and props. A Christmas Carol was performed in December for the public at Trinity English Lutheran Church with over 130 audience members and at L.A.D.A. with over 50 audience members. The students learned their lines and movements, followed staging directions and built self-confidence and increased self-esteem. Sixteen students participated in the chorus component of the ME program. In addition, 16 students participated the adaptive dance component. Each group attended rehearsals once a week for eight weeks at L.A.D.A. They were preparing for an early April performance downtown when all programming ceased due to the pandemic. They learned the music and dance choreography, memorized the lyrics or movements, and created props to use during specific songs. In response to the Covid pandemic, AUI began producing digital programming in early March. Staff collected videos produced by AUI musicians and dance instructors and edited the performances into 15-30 minute collections of various artists that were distributed to care facilities and L.A.D.A. students through their families, group homes, and at the academy. AUI amassed 25 compilation videos and 90 individual videos. All facilities received access to videos but AUI was unable to quantify the number of facilities that used the videos or how many people experienced these digital arts experiences. |
