“Expand the awareness, reach and capacity of salt unique performances and festivals. Continuously seek and create emerging and cutting-edge performances to stay at the most forefront of the dance industry. Educate dancers and community members on relevant, emerging contemporary performance through training programs, events, and outreach. In its first five years, salt has increased revenue and net income. Donors have more than doubled, and the current fundraising ratio is at a healthy 1%. The company is financially secure and the future looks promising. Salt held their first masquerade social event, vip night for donors, and link dance festival. Concert attendance was sustained. Salt had a turnover in dancers, with only four dancers staying, one previous salt dancer returning, one guest artists/choreographer dancing on the company, two apprentices moving up and joining the company. The company will have three apprentices this year, one from salt ii, one local, and one from out of state. Salt reorganized staff positions to include a touring and community involvement manager, donor and grant manager, education director, front of house manager, stage manager, and volunteer coordinator. For the 2018-2019 season, salt is increasing its visibility by joining launchpad, attending the waa conferencing, attending outreach at 50+ schools, and touring regionally. Salt is also increasing partnerships by being commissioned by utahpresents, presenting the spring concert with the university of utah dance dept, partnering with the university of utah for the link dance festival, and partnering with two additional studios for the salt training program. Salt's education program is adding a second location for the senior training program, and adding a third location for an adult company in the evening.”
