This chapter details the development of an evaluation framework for the Hobson Street Theatre Company (HSTC). Formed in 2010 from members of the street community accessing the homeless services, food assistance and health support provided by the Auckland City Mission, the company uses theatre to foster dialogue on issues perpetuating homelessness. In May and June 2024, members of the company attended two evaluation design workshops. They discussed criteria, based on aspects of wellbeing, which could help them evaluate the success of workshops, rehearsals, and projects. A key feature of the first workshop was that company members were provoked to think about both wellbeing and Hauora (Māori conceptions of health). This resulted in nuanced discussions that ultimately led to engagement with Te Whare Tapa Whā, a model of Māori health developed by Sir Mason Durie, onto which the company mapped their evaluating criteria. This chapter discusses the workshop and design process that led to the development of HSTC’s evaluation framework. We consider how it might be used to engage with members of precarious communities that HSTC works with and how it might be used to evaluate the various creative workshops, rehearsals, and projects that they might deliver over time.

This chapter details the development of an evaluation framework for the Hobson Street Theatre Company (HSTC). Formed in 2010 from members of the street community accessing the homeless services, food assistance and health support provided by the Auckland City Mission, the company uses theatre to foster dialogue on issues perpetuating homelessness. In May and June 2024, members of the company attended two evaluation design workshops. They discussed criteria, based on aspects of wellbeing, which could help them evaluate the success of workshops, rehearsals, and projects. A key feature of the first workshop was that company members were provoked to think about both wellbeing and Hauora (Māori conceptions of health). This resulted in nuanced discussions that ultimately led to engagement with Te Whare Tapa Whā, a model of Māori health developed by Sir Mason Durie, onto which the company mapped their evaluating criteria. This chapter discusses the workshop and design process that led to the development of HSTC’s evaluation framework. We consider how it might be used to engage with members of precarious communities that HSTC works with and how it might be used to evaluate the various creative workshops, rehearsals, and projects that they might deliver over time.
