Open house May 2016

Triform once again, opened our community doors to share a brief look into daily life when we hosted an Open House and Campus Tour on May 14, 2016. These events offer an opportunity to experience the many and varied programs that Triform offers to young adults with special needs.

Several families and their children with special needs were in attendance and able to visit the work areas, classrooms, one of the community homes and the community center. Co-workers and current students were busy in their chosen work areas, whether it was the Pottery or Weavery studios, Farm and Garden or the Bakery. Meg Henderson welcomed everyone and the student bell choir performed for the group.

People in attendance came from New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and even Missouri. The admissions group was on hand to answer questions about criteria for admission, the application process and finances. After the tour, we gathered to socialize and enjoy refreshments.

Triform will host an Open House twice a year in the Spring and Fall. If you know any families who are looking for a youth guidance, residential or day habilitation program for their young- adult child, please have them contact us for more information at 518.851.9320 or admissions@triform.org.

Kaspar Hauser Festival and Play by Chloe Rovits

This October, actors from Camphills Triform, Copake, Ghent, Hudson, and beyond were busy rehearsing a play that tells the story of Kaspar Hauser's enigmatic life and mysterious death. The production, Carlo Pietzner's "And Out of the Night, Kaspar," was one of the many events of the Kaspar Hauser Festival - a four day coming-together spread between the four local Camphill communities. After the logistical difficulties of finding time for a dozen coworkers of different communities to rehearse together, we began the next trying task of unraveling the words of Pietzner. The play takes us on a nonlinear journey across time and space to catch glimpses of Kaspar's interactions with the forces of good and evil. As a young child of royal birth, Kaspar was switched with a sickly infant and henceforth locked away in a small dark basement cell for 15 formative years of his life. Following his sudden release he was haphazardly and bewilderingly integrated into the rest of so...
