Tempest offers performances and interactive events for all grades at a low cost per student - contact us for complete information & details on bringing a performance or event to your school.

Tempest will work closely with you and your staff to provide developmentally and age appropriate activities and lessons. Our work is experiential and includes active participation from the students at all levels - from the one-day workshops to the performances.

Select a 5-day, 10-day or 15-day residency. Have a teaching artist work with your students in a series of workshops to further expand the arts experience. The artist will work with your students for up to 3 hours per day. Each residency is designed to meet the specific needs of your classroom while integrating the learning standards into the residency.

Residencies can include work on developing skills in:

• Speaking
