PTP Partnerships

CELEBRATING OUR CULTURES THROUGH DEVISED THEATRE-MAKING CLASSES

In the PTP Partnerships, our team of experienced teaching artists collaborate with 1618 elementary, middle and high schools, primarily in Upper Manhattan, to provide student-centered, culturally-sustaining, and experiential theatre curricula to approximately 900 K–12 students, many of whom are Multilingual Learners.

Over 15 weekly sessions, students work together with their teaching artist to create a multi-disciplinary theatrical collage that celebrates the cultures represented in the classroom. Through this process, students build their creative capacity, celebrate their culture, and discover the power of community and collaboration through theatre.

Supportive Partnerships for Educational Growth

Our educational programs thrive with the help of partner organizations that provide spaces, materials, and services essential for our activities. These partners enhance our ability to conduct classes, table at events, and nourish our Young Artists with necessary snacks. Additionally, they connect our Young Artists and their families with vital wraparound services and opportunities to practice advocacy skills, creating a supportive environment for our students to learn, create, perform, and grow.

Expanding Impact Through Collaborative Partnerships

PTP expands its reach and impact by partnering with various venues and organizations to host workshops, trainings, and performances. These partnerships enable us to showcase the outcomes of our educational endeavors, offering engaging, artistic presentations and professional development opportunities to a broader audience. By collaborating with other spaces, we not only share our expertise but also enrich the community with the creative fruits of our labor.
