Located in the historic Theatre Annex Building of Trinity Methodist Church (393 Broad Street, Providence), TAPA is Providence’s new arts-integrated charter school for middle and high school students.

This event is for teaching artists in drama, music, film and dance who are interested in being Artists in Residence at TAPA. It is an opportunity to see TAPA’s performance spaces, meet the Artistic Director, learn about TAPA’s model of arts integration and ask questions about our current request for proposals for our next Artist Residency.  TAPA is a fully arts-integrated urban charter school that opens on September 1 with a class of 34  7th grade students.

About TAPA’s Artist in Residence program:
In addition to an academically rigorous arts-integrated curriculum, TAPA provides 90 minutes each day of arts programming. During middle school (7th and 8th grade), TAPA students will study each of the following arts for a span of 10 weeks: Drama, Music, Film and Dance. TAPA is seeking Artists in Residence to spend 2.5 hours (1:30 – 4pm) daily in the school, working with both teachers and students. Interested Artists should complete the attached request for proposals by 8/11/10; the length of the residence (from 1 week to 10 weeks) is determined by the artist in consultation with the Artistic Director.
