Come see evaluation findings like you’ve never seen them before as we use theatre to present a day in the life of the Learning Lab, a program at the UBC Learning Exchange. The Learning Lab offers diverse educational opportunities tailored to community members’ interests and passions in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Collectively written and performed by UBC Learning Exchange staff, students, and patrons as part of an evaluation of the Learning Lab program, Voices UP! takes program evaluation off the page and on to the stage. As an innovative theatre-based evaluation project, Voices UP! allows for a more personal, narrative approach to presenting evaluation findings to community and funding bodies. Developed over several months of rehearsals and performances, the creation process has encouraged continual reflection and evaluation of how well our programing works for our participants. The performance will be followed by a discussion with the Voices UP! creators. Come enjoy a show, and be introduced to a collaborative, engaging means of arts-based evaluation.
