Programs

Schools & Camps



TLP residencies are truly one-of-a-kind and have influenced the lives of many youth throughout New England see feedback from students.  They blend the disciplines of science, conservation & recycling, language arts, math, pop culture, music and performance art through fun, hands-on experiences and incorporate dozens of state curriculum standards in the process.  Workshops are modified to meet students at their developmental level and include multi-sensory learning strategies.  Most residencies culminate in a rhythmic, multi-media extravaganza performed by the students for the entire school resembling a cross between the Broadway hits STOMP and Blue Man Group.  Programs can be modified for all age levels and for alternative venues such as camps and after-school programs.


Some programming options for residencies:

   1.  Jeff works with the lower grade levels for one week and then concentrates on one or more of the upper grade-levels for the second week.  The upper grade level(s) then perform a show for the rest of the student body.

   2.  Jeff works with a select grade level(s) for one or more weeks (depending on the number of students) followed by a performance for the rest of the student body.

   3.  Jeff works with the entire school for one or more weeks (depending on the number of students) with no show at the end of the residency. 

   4.  Custom design your own residency in collaboration with Jeff.
