TiPP is committed to contributing to the body of research that further develops the evidence base confirming the efficacy of the applied arts. We also believe that our work can only improve if we regularly evaluate our projects.
In order to achieve these goals we have worked closely with a range of research agencies, most notably the University of Manchester’s Centre for Applied Theatre Research. Whenever possible we like to make these reports and evaluations openly available. Feel free to download any of the reports detailed below.

Blackburn PAYP Action Research Project This was a project carried out over two weeks with young people on PAYP in Blackburn. The project used the Drama Enrichment pack (produced by TiPP in conjunction with Ecotec and The Youth Justice Board) to develop dramatic skills, explore issues about life, increase personal confidence and culminated in a short performance and film of the event.
