The survey is designed to take about an hour. After entering your basic information, you may answer those questions you wish to and skip others. Comments are optional. We recognize the value of your time and appreciate your engaging at the level that works best for you.

​

Important!

 

• SAVE OFTEN! 

  • Anytime you leave the survey (or your computer or device), press one of the save buttons. If you lose your connection, even briefly, you’ll lose any unsaved work. 
    Note: each save button saves all data entered  since the last save. Generally you’ll see a confirmation message, but not always as the program periodically autosaves. The way to confirm data has been saved if you don’t receive the confirm is to refresh your screen. If you see your data, it has been saved.

​

• ​We highly recommend completing this on a computer or tablet, and not on a smart phone.

  • The survey uses a lot of memory and may take a few moments to load.

  • The stronger the Internet connection (and faster your processor), the smoother the interface will be.

  • Depending on your connection, you may experience some delays in keyboard responsiveness. If more than a minor issue for you, please contact Kristin and we’ll figure out a work around.

​

• Don’t share your link! Each is individualized and another respondent using your link will overwrite all your responses.

 

Please email or text Kristin (at kristin@ensembleconsulting.org or 708-275-7126) with any questions or technical issues.

Note: this document is being developed through “deep dive” work sessions with the Key Players from the Company and additional input from Survey Respondents to provide a snapshot of context and practices as of 2020-21.

 

Moonshot Evolving Lexicon (Words we use a lot and what we mean by them.)

 

Considerations: The complex of themes, values, context and issues that are weighed as the Company makes decisions about plays being reviewed for possible production. 

 

Key Considerations: Those considerations that are central to the Company’s identity, purpose, and current situation.

 

Success Indicators: The markers of the Company’s artistic and organizational goals for a production.

 

Artistic and Non-Artistic: We’re interested in considerations and success indicators that are artistic (quality of script, performances, production, etc.) and non-artistic (financial, logistical, organizational, etc.). Some considerations/indicators can be both. Our related queries are not a bucketing exercise, but the casting of two different nets to increase our catch - and overall understanding of the full range of key considerations and success indicators at play. For purpose of this survey, considerations/indicators deemed to fall between have been included under non-artistic.
