Quarterly Report
Hello, Internet, it is now the evening of March 31st, and I thought I’d give you a wee update on the progress of things I said I’d do this year after the first quarter.
1. Make sure that DanceNL has a new strategic plan.
Status: 95% complete.
In early January, we met with a strategic advisor and discussed our priorities and the steps we must take to achieve them. I am now awaiting a report on the subject, but the new strategic plan will be built directly out of that document.
2. Run a project pairing up folklorists with seniors and have them all talk about play and games.
Status: COMPLETE!
The results of this project are here.
3. Perform in Jesus Christ, Superstar.
4. Organize the heck out of Dance Week.
Status: ~50% complete.
Check out the details here.
5/6/7. Visit the Galapagos Islands/Hike the Inca Trail/Visit the Amazon Rainforest.
Status: planning stages. Coming up in next quarter.
8. Write the first draft of a new one-woman show
Status: grant applications
9. Continue the quest for a passable red curry recipe.
Status: STALLED. Cooking has been postponed until Dance Week is over.
10. Hang my f*cking art on my f*cking walls.
Status: Not even a little bit.
11. Work towards a school tour for Give Me Back.
Status: LOOK AT THIS!
12. Go skiing.
13. Enjoy food with people I love.
Status: Success! On multiple occasions. This item is ongoing.
14. Read books.
Status: well, I finished Freedom.
15. Tell stories.
Status: Ongoing as well, although I offer as a for-instance this tweet and photo, taken at a reading hosted by the Association for the Arts in Mount Pearl, who kindly asked me to participate.

No quarterly report would be complete without an assessment of success, so I have employed something I like to call “fake math” to conclude that I am at 46.2% achievement within the first quarter.
And, in the usual way of using numbers of make oneself look much more successful than one actually is, I will point out that 46.2% exceeds a target quarterly goal of 25% by 185%.
Not too shabby.
